Nepal

(album: Advanced Basics - 2014)

On this slip trip, trying to get a grip
From my brain I rip
Government microchip
Here I am, I don't understand why
Fusion of illusion equals infinite confusion but

We're all the same blood
Building the same frame
Stuck in the same mud
Cheating at the same game
We're all the same nerve
Feeling the same pain
Stuck in the same curve
Rushing through the same vein

When I was higher than Nepal
I must have been peaking
When you were banging on the wall
I must have been sleeping
Old pain go now
Out of my head
This place is lower than a crawl
I must have been seeking

On this bleak streak
Calibrate and tweak
Shifty shadows sneak
Formaldehyde and seek
Neuropeptide
Systems over-ride
Faith is multiplied, quantified
Trust angel mechanic guides

We're all the same blood
Building the same frame
Stuck in the same mud
Cheating at the same game
We're all the same nerve
Feeling the same pain
Stuck in the same curve
Rushing through the same vein

When I was higher than Nepal
I must have been peaking
When you were banging on the wall
I must have been sleeping
Old pain go now
Out of my head
This place is lower than a crawl
I must have been seeking
I must have been seeking

Old pain go now
Old pain go now
If love's the apex of our religions
Then why do we kill each other
Like hungry pigeons, brother?
This socialistic battle
White collar bred cattle
Greed riding horseback
Morals riding side saddle

When I was higher than Nepal
I must have been peaking
When you were banging on the wall
I must have been sleeping
Old pain go now
Out of my head
This place is lower than a crawl
I must have been seeking
I must have been seeking
I must have been seeking
