Lyrics
Immiscible
[Instrumental]
Impermanence
Our impermanence is sacred
Our only guarantee
Wasted on soulless output
For sick societies.
We never rest, are never still
And are never fully alone.
Nature’s current rudely subdued
By the highway’s endless drone.
Indifference
Unreactive to the race
Unphased by present tense.
Power often lies
In our indifference.
Take or leave things as you may,
Or pounce and fall from grace.
Heeding desperate hunger
Is a sure way to lose face.
If I cared too much
You’d never stick around,
You’ve no clue what’s best for you
Or those you’re letting down.
Did you think good times would last?
You’d never want for gold?
Taste the pleasure while you can
And learn to let it go.
Reality is just a name
We give to strong illusions,
And oftentimes a pinch of salt
Sweetens this delusion.
Never give an inch to fear
Or let thoughts run amok.
A steady world is yours to make
Grounded like a rock.
Sometimes you don’t have the answers
Time flies, and the questions never mattered.
Hard tries, and hours laid waste
We shape existence to our taste.
Indecision
When the night sets on a lonely road,
And you’re left in the dark with your thoughts.
You’ve been told so many times before
Fear preys on those with fates unclear.
So make up your mind
On what you’re going to do,
You’ve only got one life to see it through.
And push with all your might
Though the path may ebb and flow,
The light you seek could be your own.
When the cold came, I wished you here to hold
Some warmth and company in another human soul
Time and time again you test the open door
And I can’t keep you back, but you’re welcome here no more.
Intranquility
A world that’s far too serious
Is cast upon our minds
For we cherish not the moment
Our consciousness entwines.
The beauty of existence
Is in how it fades away
Leaking with abandon
And fleeing by the day.
Here and now
Don’t waste your time on memories or fantasies
Of pain or pleasure.
Don’t drift away
The task at hand calls for your attention
And in action, you are free.
The forces of this nature
Tear and etch into the bone
The lessons of a million sunsets
Eventually hit home.
The worth of a life
Is in the fight that it puts up
And from the efforts that were made
Tranquility erupts.
