It’s just around the block, I feel it in my bones I don’t know if you’re here or if I’m all alone I’m crying for the city lights, dancing for the moon at night Tell me if you’ll keep me company I need you to hold my hand so that we can run I wish that I were lying but this ain’t for fun We gotta find a place to hide, because I don’t want you to die Promise that you won’t go away Don’t fall for their searching eyes Look closer, they don’t water, all lies You’re out of sight, of mind Don’t follow the light (Don’t follow the light) Can you hear me from the depths of the dark? Stay hiding, my child I hear the footsteps getting louder, bear with me If we could have it any other way, we’d be free The stars are watching over us, they don’t want you to make a fuss Wipe your tears, try your best to be brave The sun is gonna rise soon, you just gotta wait They painted the moon black to lure you in as bait Don’t leave behind your glitter trail, or you won’t live to tell the tale I am running out of things to say Don’t fall for their searching eyes Look closer, they don’t water, all lies You’re out of sight, of mind Don’t follow the light (Don’t follow the light) Can you hear me from the depths of the dark? Stay hiding, my child It's half past twelve, the streets are barren It smells like rain, it feels like seven The night is young and so are you, my dear Now walk away and walk away with fear The lights outside are turning orange Can't find a word that rhymes with orange It's no matter that my words don't rhyme As long as you get the message that we're out of time Don’t fall for their searching eyes Look closer, they don’t water, all lies You’re out of sight, of mind Don’t follow the light (Don’t follow the light) Can you hear me from the depths of the dark? Stay hiding, my child [Epic drum solo]

The flower petals are embracing the sky The winds of change are here the fragant air Do you see the mayflies are refracting the light I see the junebugs gleaming under there They flutter their wings The buzz through all mankind Buzz after them and then wave The mayflies and the junebugs are dancing to the morning dew (Chloroplastic symphony) There is no need to segue The mayflies and the junebugs are ringing every bell of blue The clouds are drifting in eternities The mayfly calls the junebug to watch this piece They spin in what we call an orbit of love The summer heat is rising, find warmth above They flutter their wings Buzzing tails of tree tales Buzz after them and then wave The mayflies and the junebugs are dancing to the morning dew (Chloroplastic symphony) There is no need to segue The mayflies and the junebugs are ringing every bell of blue [Epic guitar solo] [Epic melodion solo] Mayflies and junebugs Find their way to our hearts Oh oh Buzz after them and then wave The mayflies and the junebugs are dancing to the morning dew (Chloroplastic symphony) There is no need to segue The mayflies and the junebugs are ringing every bell of blue (And so they sing) Buzz after them and then wave The mayflies and the junebugs are dancing to the morning dew (Chloroplastic symphony) There is no need to segue The mayflies and the junebugs are ringing every bell of blue

Where is he going so gracefully, oscillating Through learned eyes, he sees Cold-blooded but he seethes Do you think he thinks of his own fate, immortality Live and breathe Meandering, as a ghost he sings Finally he is Ghost gecko Dreaming deeply Bathing in the kitchen light Moonlit scales, goodbye Though they shine, they will fade away with time And so he cries Crickets sound, he realises what he’s found The earth he roams is bound Transcended simple noun There’s no man or child who has the same leathered back and round Wisps of might Silver-tongued though he counts the hours going by Like it matters Ghost gecko Dreaming deeply Scurrying through bricks of plight Shedded signs of life Though it grows, it concerns his mind And so he dies I have asked “where do the geckos go?” I have yet to know Do I wait There are times In my mind I see him fading goodbye Ghost gecko Dreaming deeply Taking in the starry night Mighty spirit of fire He has lived the fullest life Now he waves goodbye

[Impromptu]

Unde nātī sumus? Ubī enim vīvimus? Et quō vādimus? Ō, dīce! Quis nōs dēsīderat cognōscere, respīrāre, facit dīcere, percipere? Ex falso dūce, īre ad reālem! Dē morte mūtā ad immortālitātem! Dīce, Prajāpati, quīd sum ego? Est corpus, suī somniāns? Vel altum dormiēns? Sed mūtat? Moritur? Minemo, omnēs errāta Dīce, Prajāpati, quidnam est? Atman est Brahman, tū es ūniversum Inhaerēns, trānscendēns, ineffābilīs! प्रज्ञानम् ब्रह्म (Prajñānam brahma) अयम् आत्मा ब्रह्म (Ayam ātma brahma) तत् त्वम् असि (Tat tvam asi) अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि (Aham brahmāsmi) अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि (Aham brahmāsmi) Ē plūrālitāte imāgināta, ad ūnum revertēns Illud est vērum Īnfīnitāte in homine trānscendit finitatem, cum homō fit deus Mokṣa dē karma, mokṣa dē samsara Scī tē ipsum, cōnsequere tranquillum! प्रज्ञानम् ब्रह्म (Prajñānam brahma) अयम् आत्मा ब्रह्म (Ayam ātma brahma) तत् त्वम् असि (Tat tvam asi) अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि (Aham brahmāsmi) अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि (Aham brahmāsmi) प्रज्ञानम् ब्रह्म (Prajñānam brahma) अयम् आत्मा ब्रह्म (Ayam ātma brahma) तत् त्वम् असि (Tat tvam asi) अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि (Aham brahmāsmi) [Epic guitar solo] प्रज्ञानम् ब्रह्म (Prajñānam brahma) अयम् आत्मा ब्रह्म (Ayam ātma brahma) तत् त्वम् असि (Tat tvam asi) अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि (Aham brahmāsmi) अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि (Aham brahmāsmi) प्रज्ञानम् ब्रह्म (Prajñānam brahma) अयम् आत्मा ब्रह्म (Ayam ātma brahma) तत् त्वम् असि (Tat tvam asi) अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि (Aham brahmāsmi) अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि (Aham brahmāsmiiiiiiiiiiiii) [Epic drum solo] -- English translation: Whence are we born? Where do we live? Whither do we go? O, tell me! Who wills us to think, to breathe? Who makes us speak, perceive? Lead me from the unreal, towards the real! Transfigure from death to immortality! Tell me, Prajāpati, what am I? Is it a body, a dreaming being, one that is deep-sleeping? Does it change? Does it die? No, all wrong Tell me Prajāpati, what exactly is it? Atman is Brahman, you are the universe Inherent, transcendent, ineffable! "Brahma is insight The Self is Brahma That essence are you I am Brahma" From the illusory plurality, returning to One It is the truth The infinite in human transcends finitude, when man becomes god Mokṣa from karma, mokṣa from samsara Know thyself, attain tranquility! "Brahma is insight The Self is Brahma That essence are you I am Brahma"
