"As Above, So Below" lyrics

"As Above, So Below"

A breath — a moment couldn't take it
A smile — your face couldn't fake it
A dream — a vision couldn't make it
We are all particles of life

Extend your hand to reach the obvious
The image planted in your eyelids
A second guess, a need to focus
To find the secret deep inside

Our wheels forever stuck in motion
Disoriented human notion
Won't satisfy your own devotion
To all the particles of life

Identic figures are inverting
The mind's perspective is a strong point
Connecting purpose to the Yang and Yin
Unlock the mysteries inside

Clocks ticking, sounding harmony
From left to right in perfect union
The rhythm softly manifesting
Inside all particles of life

Is presence all that really matters?
Strongly posed — no face, no gender
Basic human interaction
Revealing mysteries deprived

You hit the floor, a wound will grow
You tell a lie, the truth will show
Deserving fate as cause unfolds
Within the particles of life

She falls down, down, down
Through the earth and out the other side
Among the bodies that walk
With heads downward to the sky

Return to the earth
Away from tangled nature
Down down down again
She searches through her mind for her garden

Take the answer's failure to describe
Simplified delusions
Taste the yearning underneath her skin
Liberation within

As above, so below

A proposal in reverse!
Consume the flesh of progress
She contemplates surrender
At the bidding of the conclave
She falls back into herself
Down down down

Take the answer's failure to describe
Simplified delusions
Taste the yearning underneath her skin
Liberation within

The words from all your stories bind me
A selfless mirror used to blind me
When no reaction can deny me
The secret deep within your mind

Your very weakest bone I'll follow
To fight the reason of the hollow
Self-loathing creature of tomorrow
Inside the particles of life

A breath — a moment couldn't take it
A smile — your face couldn't fake it
A dream — a vision couldn't make it

Clocks ticking, sounding harmony
From left to right in perfect union
Identic figures are inverting

Our wheels forever stuck in motion
Disoriented human notion

You hit the floor, a wound will grow
You tell a lie, the truth will show

As above, so below
