INSPEC
AND THEN YOU HEAR A SOUND
[ THAT BIG SOUND ]
IT FOUND YOU ON THE GROUND
YOU'VE HEARD THAT VOICE BEFORE
[ LIKE AN OLD FRIEND ]
NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D HEAR IT ANYMORE
IT IS PERFECTION BECAUSE IT IS NOT PERFECT AT ALL
YOU'VE BEEN ACTING OUT · EXPRESSING FACETS OF A COMPOSITE WHOLE
AND IF I HAVE TO ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS THEN I'D REALLY LOVE TO
[ YOU KNOW ALL THAT I KNOW ]
AND THEN YOU HEAR A SOUND...
it is selection although you're not selecting at all
comes with every choice · a different voice to slur · blur and confuse
and if you feel the need to move · do it · but you do not really have to
AND THEN YOU MAKE THAT SOUND
[ THAT BIG SOUND ]
YEAH FINALLY · HE IS FOUND
[ YOU LIVE ] ALL LIVES AT ONCE · YOU SEE
[ ALWAYS ONE ]
YOUR PAST · YOUR FUTURE
ALL IN ME
THAT'S ABOUT IT · I DON'T KNOW MORE THAN YOU
I HAVE THE SAME QUESTIONS TOO
JUST KNOW THAT I'M HERE

Staying Embodied

STAYING EMBODIED
dwelling where i choose
these walls are see-through
there’s mass · hypnosis · dreams · drama and tear
neuro-linguistic programs are spewed out to save you
and the smiles in their pamphlets are top-rank watchtower smiles
[ you’re taught what to think
but not how to think
your mind overclocks
while it slowly shrinks ]
KILLING THE MOMENT
TO MAKE IT LAST
MIGHT ENJOY IT MORE WHEN IT’S IN THE PAST
STAYING EMBODIED IS HARD ENOUGH AS IT IS
NOTORIOUS TO WRITE DOWN
THE TASTE · THE FEELING AND SOUND
SO THAT IT CAN BE REPEATED AT A LATER TIME
we created pleasure so that we wouldn't drop out
so that we would stay embodied in 3D
doubt turns the absence of goals into a monster
it's slow · but you know · your eyes are fixed on the veil
KILLING THE MOMENT..
.
THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK
ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT
EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT
EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT
EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT
EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT
EVERYTHING THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I CAN
[ SO THAT IT CAN BE REPEATED
SO THAT IT CAN BE REPEATED ]
SING AFTER ME · REPEAT IT
[ SO THAT IT CAN BE REPEATED
SO THAT IT CAN BE REPEATED ]
PLEASE · PLEASE · REPEAT IT

SUM OF PARTS
[ NO ONE HEARS YOU ]
SING IT AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN
IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU
WE KNEW THIS FROM THE START
WE ARE MORE THAN THE SUM OF OUR PARTS
SING IT AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN
IT’S NOT EVEN TRUE
WELL OUR LOGIC WILL RELAPSE
AS REALITIES COLLAPSE
AND NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THEM [ GO ]
why WHY would you cry out
when there’s no NO one there
YOU you are making sounds
sounds that no one hears
wearing you out
you’re not all
you’re not one
you’re full of love · alone · you’rE on your own
why would you cry when no one hears you
BEEN holding on TO long
and no
no one cares
SING IT AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN
IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU
WE KNEW THIS FROM THE START
WE ARE MORE THAN THE SUM OF OUR PARTS
SING IT AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN
IT’S NOT EVEN TRUE
WELL OUR LOGIC WILL RELAPSE
AS REALITIES COLLAPSE
AND NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THEM GO
you keep KEEP on crying out
and it still makes no sense
afraid AFRAID that it’s A CASE
a case of pretense
could you just shut up
shut up and cry · and let it out
not knowing why you would go so deep
within your body · shut it down
you’re sounding just like me
are you a yes or a no-body
information never consolates
theories they isolate
you need to stop figuring out
why you want to scream and shout
wearing you out
you’re not all
you’re not one
you’re full of love · alone · you’re on your own
why would you cry when no one hears you

A Mutation Of Thruses
04:33

A MUTATION OF THRUSHES
like a flock of birds
or a pod of dolphins
a bellowing of bullfinches
a fling of dunlings
like a mob of kangaroos
a brood of hens
a bazaar of guillemots
just like a band of jays
a shrewdness of apes
a deceit of lapwings
like a
a host of sparrows
a trip of wildfowles
a mutation of thrushes
like an army of ants
an ostention of peacocks
a down of rabbits
like a rumba of ratllesnakes
a run of salmon
a bob of seals
like a kettle of hawks
a nest of hornets
a gam of whales
a quiver of cobras
a dole of doves
a shoal of shads
a company of angel fish
a glint of goldfish
a knot of toads
DID YOU EVER HAVE A GO ?
EVERYONE MUST HAVE A GO
IT'S YOUR NEXT PENROSE STEP
the ONES WHO HAVE SPENT THEIR TIME ON EARTH
HAVE A DIFFERENT KIND OF GLOW
YOU PUT IT ON HOLD
BUT SOON YOU'RE GIVEN BIRTH
YOU LEAVE EVERYTHING
SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR WORLDS
ALL YOUR WORLDS
ALL YOUR PRETTY LITTLE WORLDS
like a bloat of hippopotami
a warren of wombats
a zeal of zebras
like a generation of vipers
a bale of turtles
streak of tigers
a glean of herring
a hover of trout
a wisdom of owls
a murmuration of starlings
a dray of squirrels
a spring or a harem of seals
like a drove of sheep
a leash of foxes
a skein of geese
a tower of giraffes
a knot of frogs
a memory of elephants
a weyr of dragons
SO YOU DECIDE TO HAVE A GO
AND EVERYBODY HAS TO KNOW
IT'S YOUR TIME
all the ones that have SPENT THEIR TIME ON EARTH
HAve A DIFFERENT KIND OF FLOW
SO YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU JUST MIGHT
LET GO OF HOLDING LIGHT
WE HAVE THE SAME THOUGHT AT THE SAME
TIME AFTER TIME
NEVER RUNNING OUT OF TIME
our movements trace
invisible patterns
we draw in the sky
using no eyes
a living matrix
hexagonal
atonal
a framework of sound
as we're letting you down
a shower of rain
a bevy of ladies
a blush of boys
an ambush of toys
a den of thieves
a coven of witches
a worship of READS
a curse of painters
like a conspiracy of ravens
like a brace or flush of ducks
A MASK OF RACCOONS
a crash of rhinos
a mute of hounds
a warren of rabbits
a turn of turtles
like a shiver of sharks
a SPAN OF MULES
a school of sea stars
a gulp of cormorants
so zebrine,
so hipptigrine
so eranaceine
so helminthic
and so formic
anisopterian
iguanine
pteropine
so it seem
so galagine
so perfect
so hyenine
ALL THE ONES THAT HAVE SPENT THEIR TIME ON EARTH
THEY’VE LIVED LIVES YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
NOW YOU WANT TO GO DOWN THERE
THOUGH YOU KNOW IT WILL HURT
LET GO OF YOUR WORLDS

ADAM KADMON BODY MASS INDEX
YOU ARE MORE THAN CHEMICALS
YOU ARE MORE THAN ENDLESS FRACTALS
MEEK WONDERS OF A WAYWARD SUN
YOU ARE MORE THAN ANOTHER RUN
CUNNING · CIRCULAR · ALL PRECIOUS FEATS
ALL THOSE SECRETS WAITING TO LEAK
NO WONDER
HOW DUPED WE THOUGHT WE WERE
IN THESE REALMS SUCH THINGS CAN OCCUR
WHAT IF YOU FAIL FAIL TO FAIL
AND BREAK RIGHT THROUGH ?
WHAT WOULD YOU FIGHT ?
WHAT WOULD YOU PUSH AGAINST ?
WHAT IF THE STRUGGLE DID END ?
WHAT WOULD BECOME OF US THEN ?
I'D RATHER SPEND MY LIFE BANGING ON A WALL
THAN WALK RIGHT THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR
COMING FULL CIRCLE ON OUR
HANDS AND FEET
ALL THESE ENDS ARE WAITING TO MEET
IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT
YOU CAN ALWAYS COAST
YOU NEVER GIVE UP THE GHOST
WHAT IF YOU FAIL FAIL TO FAIL
AND BREAK RIGHT THROUGH ?
WHAT WOULD YOU FIGHT ?
WHAT WOULD YOU PUSH AGAINST ?
WHAT IF THE STRUGGLE DID END ?
WHAT WOULD BECOME OF US THEN ?
I'D RATHER SPEND MY LIFE BANGING ON A WALL
WHAT IF YOU FAIL FAIL TO FAIL
YOU’D WALK RIGHT THROUGH
NOTHING TO FIGHT
NOTHING TO PUSH AGAINST
WHAT IF THE STRUGGLE DID END ?
WHAT WOULD BECOME OF US THEN ?
SO WHAT’S SUPPOSED TO BE THE MEANING OF IT ALL
IF I CAN WALK RIGHT THROUGH THAT OPEN DOOR

maybe you're not who you thought you were,
you spent some years on earth somewhere
you have got photographs and history
know many a branch on your family tree
maybe you have been asleep
and every picture you keep
show just one of a million sides
know your wrongs
know your rights
you live out every probability
to the best of your ability
live them all at the same time
at the same time
no one knows who they really are
nobody knows who they really are
no one know who they really are
you know who you are

YOU ARE CREATING
FOR EVERY EVERY STEP THERE IS A STONE
FOR EVERY PRODUCT : A CRAFT YOU HONE
MUSIC IS NOT ABOUT THE WORDS AND TONES
YEAH WE PLAY IT
AND THEN YOU MAKE IT INTO MUSIC
WE RELY ON YOUR EARS TO HEAR
DISCOVER WHAT WE DID NOT KNOW WAS THERE
ALL YOUR EXPERIENCES
DERIVED FROM YOUR SENSES
EVERY LETTER IS AN EMPTY CONTAINER
AND EVERY NOTE : A VESSEL YOU RIDE
THE VOICE YOU HEAR IS A VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD
IT'S NOT A PICTURE · IT'S NOT A TEST
IT'S NOT A METAPHOR · AN ANALOGY LEST
YOU WANT IT TO BE
IT CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE
EVERYBODY'S FEELING LIKE
"OH MY · THAT'S MY SONG"
AND IT IS BECAUSE
YOU'RE HEARING YOURSELF BY MEANS OF US
THERE'S NO QUOTE UNQUOTE
YOU'RE CREATING THIS NOTE
ALL YOUR EXPERIENCES
DERIVED FROM YOUR SENSES
[ THE TOOL OF ART CAN ONLY TAKE YOU AS DEEP
AS THE ARTIST WHO MADE IT DARED TO REACH
WITHIN THEIR SELVES, THAT'S THE ONLY QUEST
YOU NEED WORRY ABOUT · FORGET THE REST ]
CHOOSE YOUR WORDS FOR WHAT THEY CONVEY
AND NOT FOR WHAT THEY MEAN OR SAY
YOU'RE USING THESE LINES
TO COME THROUGH TO YOU
EVERYBODY'S SAYING HE IS SINGING ABOUT ME
YOU'RE SINGING TO YOURSELF, YOU SEE
WHO MADE THE JOY
WHO MADE THE STRIFE
YOU’RE CREATING YOUR LIFE
OBVIOUSLY
I'M NOT SINGING. IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG
YOU'RE CREATING EVERY SONG
TAKE CREDIT AND BOW
'CAUSE WE DO NOT
STAND UP AND RECLAIM
YOU CREATED THIS REFRAIN

Call Me TrimTab
hydra-headed thoughts
are making my eyes cross
all these spheres · hypothetical
[digital]
geodesic domes
resembling chromosomes
i moved into
a dymaxion
[dwelling machine]
and we keep inventing jobs
[and we keep on righting wrongs]
see us turning into stones
[now they’re all gone the do’s and don’ts]
REF
not today not today not today
how i love to put it off
how i love to be taken care of
and weep
venture into polyphasic sleep
icosahedron
i don't need to rest
have to do my best
call me trimtab
i'm a man of the future
feed into my picture
all this time
to configurate
[draw figure 8s]
oh no storm is coming
you're only becoming
and we keep inventing jobs
[and we keep on righting wrongs]
see us turning into stones
[no one confronts the do’s and don’ts]
REF
and we keep inventing jobs
[and we keep on righting wrongs]
i can do it too, but..
not today not today not today
how i love to put it off
how i love to be taken care of
i'm set
if you could only take the first step

DILLEMANNS’ CLARITY
one day i got this clip
it was from a friend of mine
his name is BB he's a writer
i met a painter who
was talking about art
a voice so confident and strong
from the heart
with the clarity of a man
who goes for experience
in its truest sense
you can't create the art sublime
in your spare time
we all have sparks
you compromise in life
but not in art
he said
[red boxing gloves
his punching bag hurts
his body firm
he's punching harder]
a part-time painter is the worst
the people who are partly anything
they are the worst kind
you have to try to be the whole
you have to sacrifice
but the biggest sacrifice is being half
his muscles are contracting
they emphasize everything
that he is saying
no philosophy
just his truth
[watch?v=hCeMgtoRago]
REF
we all have sparks
you compromise in life
but not in art
[so sublime]
in your spare time
we all have sparks
you compromise in life
but not in art
he said
[red boxing gloves
his punching bag hurts
his body firm
he's punching harder]
REF
being trendy is dying a little
you don't have to be hip
you just have to know poetry
anything that stands the turning of time
to create the art sublime
[it’s gonna take more of your time]
seeing modern art, of course as modern as possible
they don't want to seem like old farts
this is causing all
the people to walk past the trees
without seeing the art

AUTUMN STREAM
IN THE AUTUMN
WHERE THE PINK AND GREEN FLOW
SHOOTING ARROWS
WITH RAINBOWS
WE LEAVE · we leave THE TREES
[WE'RE WALKING ON HANDS AND FEET]
WE'RE WALKING ON CLOUDBERRIES
WE ARE STANDING IN A STREAM
[HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT YOU’V E SEEN]
I HAVEN'T BEEN WHERE YOU'VE BEEN
YOU TALK ABOUT TAKING THE PLUNGE
I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN
BETWEEN TWO ROCKS · I LUNGE
WE'VE BEEN OUT HERE ALL DAY
YOU SAY YOU'LL FOLLOW YOUR OWN WAY
IN JOY WE MANIFEST QUICKER
AND AS THIS REALM GROWS THICKER
BETWEEN REALITIES WE FLICKER
YOU ARE YOU AND I AM ME
WE ARE STANDING IN A STREAM
[TALKING ABOUT LIVING THE DREAM]
AS THE OLD IS RIPPING BY ITS SEAMS
AND HOW IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT PATH U TAKE
YOUR PREFERRED REALITY YOU ALWAYS WILL CREATE
IT ALWAYS TURNS OUT MUCH BETTER THAN YOU THOUGHT
WHEN LETTING GO OF STRAIN ·LETTING GO WHAT YOU OUGHT
WE ARE STANDING IN A STREAM
[AMID THE ELEMENTS WE GLEAM]
AMID A VISTA OF GREEN
AND THEN WE PLAY AROUND AND GENERATE A SPACE
BEYOND HYPNOSIS AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE RUNNING THE RACE
WE CREATE A BEING REFRACTED THROUGH RAIN
SUN ENLIGHTENED HEATHER ON A MOUNTAIN PLANE
WE ARE · AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO SEE
[HOW ALL THE ENERGIES ALIGN]
WHEN YOU SET THEM FREE
THEY FORM AND MANIFEST IN PHYSICALITY
[YOUR VERY ABSOLUTE HIGHEST PREFERRED REALITY]
YOU CAN ALWAYS CREATE
[IN A FANTASTIK FASHION]
A REFLECTION OF YOUR HIGHEST PASSION
WE ARE STANDING IN A STREAM
[AND NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS]
I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN
AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ARRANGED
WE TALK ABOUT FLOW AND THE BEAUTY OF CHANGE

CHROMA KEY
it begins and it's ending with you
there's no one turning your page
there's only you turning all that rage on yourself
so what happens when you follow that whim
do you love her or him ?
love yourself or your kin ?
please over understand this
that this world is a looking glass
and it will never burst
unless you break it first
being is not is not
subject to time to time
[don’t forget]
there's no beginning
and there is no end
time is a construct
[it’s yours to bend]
there is no great library
of what you did done do
every moment and thing in here is nil
you’re meant to charge them
they reflect your will
this world is a looking glass
and it will never burst
you can't tell a reflection to change
you have to do it first
it is not what you experience
that will expand your range
[don’t forget]
it's how you react and perceive it
that'll make the change
[make for the deepest change]
so it comes back to me
reciprocality
[don’t forget]
every encounter
you've with ever dealt
has never ever happened
[has only been felt]
what beliefs am i projecting
they're bouncing off the glass
all the things that happen to me
· my potentials turned to mass
then never any thing was really about you
there's no one turning your page
there's only you turning all that rage on yourself
what happens when you follow that whim
do you love her or him ?
love yourself or your kin ?
please over understand this:
that this world is a looking glass
and it will never burst
you have to break it first
being is not
subject to time
[don’t forget]
that if you're waiting
waiting for the end
then that is your choice
[see you around the bend]
so it comes back to me
reciprocality
every encounter you with ever dealt
has never happened
[has only been felt]
what beliefs am i projecting
they're bouncing off the glass
all the things that happen to me
· my potentials turned to mass
and if you get some shit
then you can ask yourself
what is it that i hold as true
creating this situation

ALL YOUR DREAMS YOU HAVE TO LIVE THEM OUT
THEY WERE MADE FOR YOU TO LIVE THEM OUT

[PERFECT IN THE OUTER SPHERES]
WAKE UP AND LIVE THEM HERE
YOU WANT TO KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE

YOU CAN ALWAYS HIDE
FOREVER RUN
ACCUMULATING REASONS WHY
SAYING WELL I SORT OF TRIED
NOW THEY’RE FAINT
ONE OF MANY GAMES
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME
ALL YOUR DREAMS YOU HAVE TO LIVE THEM OUT
THEY WERE MADE FOR YOU TO LIVE THEM OUT
AND IF YOU DON'T
THEY'LL HOLD YOU BACK
EVEN A SLIGHT DREAM THAT YOU BRING TO EARTH
MORE THAN GREAT VISIONS WORTH

MORE THAN GREAT VISIONS
WORTH A LIFE

HATE WHO I AM
DON'T BUG ME WHILE I’M DRIVING
NOW I CAN'T CHANGE BANES
ONE OF MANY GAMES
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME
ALL YOUR DREAMS YOU HAVE TO LIVE THEM OUT
THEY WERE MADE BY YOU SO LIVE THEM OUT
AND IF YOU DON'T
THEY'LL HOLD YOU BACK
THEY SEEM SO PERFECT
IN THE OUTER SPHERES
WHERE THEY’RE FAR AWAY FROM HERE
[PERFECT IN THE OUTER SPHERES]
BUT IT'S BEST TO LIVE THEM
[BEST TO LIVE THEM]
IT’S BEST TO LIVE THEM

electronic beeps · the pulses and zings
all those gadgets · those things
no doubt · i would trade them all in
to
teleport and fly
but not this time
when someone comes on
like an icon
just tell them you're fine
take a deep breath
take one at a time
“bye”
there's no meaning
“why?”
we are all connected · connected as one
so say the scriptures · and so says my phone
[28.8k modems]
we laugh but we're not that modern
there's a reason why
old rules don't apply
[carry wood and chop water]
nothing is different
everything is the same
yet all has changed
everything that we create
reflects an innate
sense of how things could be
don't talk to me about left and right and wrong
i have to go
i've waited long
in line
now we all know how we can talk
to each other without words
no matter the space between us
“Hi"
do that and more if you like
but it's no goal
they're artifacts of being whole
communication sells
we're all connected
connected as one
so reads the qabbalah
and so reads my phone
[i am out of touch
give me buttons]
there's a reason why
you can try and try
[carry wood and chop water]
everything in perfect order
we're all connected · connected as one
so read the dead sea scrolls
and so reads my phone
[remember aeroplanes once were magic]
NOTHING IS DIFFERENT
EVERYTHING IS THE SAME
NOTHING IS NOTHING
EVERYTHING IS THE SAME
