Migrated topic.
Tensions in our lives that are destroying our minds
Unite themselves together to make our consciousness blind
Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal, then I'd rather be insane

Operation ivy - here we go again

Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…”

Lucid optics - mind of psilocybin

Realizing the brain takes in six billion signals per second
most of which are hidden and not given to the senses
We’re limited to a few futile primitive tools of perception
Living in a universal pool of first hand deception

The mind's job is to receive the signals
And block the ones out that coincide with imprinted symbols
That way the information you obtained is recognized
Reality is thinkable and comparable to space and time

It makes a map of the territory that gives us
The topic of the Copenhagen interpretation of modern quantum
Physics which states we don’t know the meal
We only know the menu that our brains tell us is real

We don’t know the rules of our heads
From inside these cubicles we can’t see the truth
No one really knows exactly what happens when we think
Therefore we can never really ever know anything

Take a deep breath
there's nothing to be afraid of
what you just did was fall


into the depths of existence
the place your mind keep you away from
by its own process
of building models for understanding
This is not insanity
this is, in fact, the ultimate reality
The union you've achieved
is only possibly in thoughts no more
you never fall if you never fight
You found yourself
falling to madness
so you dove
the best thing you ever did was
let go
let go
You found yourself
falling to madness
so you dove
the best thing you ever did was
let go I found myself falling to madness so I dove
the best thing I ever did was
let go
let go
I found myself
falling to madness
so I dove
the best thing I ever did was
let go
let go
See life is a play
we're always acting out
without ever seeing it
from the writer's
or audience's point of view
but we reach infinite
when we become the writers and the actor and the audience
at the exact same time
So hear you are
and now you understand
you always were here
that why you always ran
but you can only run away for so long
before you catch up with yourself and
become part of the song
I'd like to welcome you
to the heaven you've created
I tell the truth
this is the wisdom of the ancients
holding on to something
contradicts our being
so fly free
fly free
fly free, fly free
Maybe I had to go crazy
to get where I am
I felt myself slippin away
and I let myself fall
gotta lose your mind
before you find it
and when you find you find it
you find out
you never lost it at all
there's a natural flow
that's attached to your soul
it don't ask you to go
it just gradually pulls
it's always now when you're never not you
so follow yourself
'cus if nothing else
your existence is true
Have you ever felt yourself slipping away
I am,
I mean,
I was
slipping away
but no matter what I am, I'm me
and I know me so I'm okay
Have you ever felt yourself slipping away
you are,
I mean,
you were
slipping away
but no matter what you are, you're you
and you know you so you're okay
I'm not a poet or a communist
a comet or a star
you're not a genius or a prophet
you just are
I'm not insane
'cus i have no need
for my sanity
It's just another chain
that keeps me from reality
reality is mine
to play with and mold
the best thing i ever did was let go
let go
so let go of the models
transcend the physical mind
and peacefully become
part of the whole
the walls came tumbling down
but this time it was for??
running around
lookin' for my feet
now they're part of the ground
and make the ground complete
live in the now
and forever be at peace
live in the now
don't stray away from the cycle
I'm one with the universe
one with the life flow
when you know that
that which is below is above
the fear that you once had will become love
(feel the love)
Have you ever felt yourself slipping away
I am,
I mean,
I was
slipping away
but no matter what I am, I'm me
and I know me so I'm okay
Have you ever felt yourself slipping away
you are,
I mean,
you were
slipping away
but no matter what you are, you're you
and you know you so you're okay
It's starts out with a question
"how much of it is real?"
now all is irrelevant outside of this ordeal
don't worry about explaining it
there ain't no human language
that can actually describe
exactly how you feel
Now I see clear through external distractions
piece by piece it comes together
so I laugh and I smile
in the beginning it was deranged
but i guess all things come to pass
after a while
if madness could have a picture face
how would it look?
like step one to becoming the contents
of your own book
right where you are right now
is where youre gonna stay
and as long as you're always
moving with your self,
you'll never slip away

Eyedea - the dive one and two

It starts out with a question. how much of it is real?
the skepticism sets in, and lessens your appeal
next, you study conspiracy, develop some theories
and become extra wary of all your previous learned material
your tolerence for stupidity degrades
most of your friends seem to be trapped in the maze
you narrow your associates down to the few you can stand
and even they sometimes wonder what’s going on in that head of yours
you study east and western philosophy, psychology, physics
you think a lot more, and start to question existence
you wonder about your nervous system’s limits
you tamper with reality maps, and then ask hallucinogenic induced
“who am i? what am i? am i forever?”
all information breathes in the shallow dark halls of never
you can see where it’s leading. you wish you were dreaming
if the castle crumbles no one’s there to put it back together


have you ever felt yourself slippin’ away?
where all you think about’s your sanity, and how it decayed?
there’s no place to run, no place to hide
you can’t escape from inside, and you’re losing your mind
you try to think of when it started, and ask yourself why
but each thought deepens the sickness and completes the desert dry
fear feeds the derangement of the inner eye
with nothing left you find yourself falling to madness so you…

cry to your god, and act normal to your peers
what if god ain’t hearing you? that’s your only fear
each day you think more about your psychosis
no one but you can help you, and you know this
that’s the craziest part of it all
in your rational mind, you only know two things for sure
one is that your totally nuts
and the other is that you’re the only one with the cure
it doesn’t make sense, it’s not how you imagined
you never knew it could just happen

you thought it came from stress, suicide, a near death experience
war, drug trips, low pay, carelessness
you’ve heard plenty of stories about schizophrenia
but never had evidence of one who thought himself mad
you’re going crazy, and desperately reachin’ for reason
but the strain to stay sane’s your only demon; best believe it

you finally realize that you’ve always lived in hell
no human model or metaphor can explain how you fell
the puzzle’s alive, and it changes as you try
to escape it
it created time and made it appear to pass by
you don’t know what you think. you don’t think what you know
you’re a total lunatic, and afraid it’s starting to show
where do you go when your brain is your worst enemy?
the six hundred and sixty six foot tall bridge on seventh street?
you’re scared. you’re scared. why are you so scared?
there’d be no problem if you didn’t care
now you’ve truly formed an opinion about heaven
it starts out with a question, and this is what it ends in

now i know you’ve felt yourself slip away
now all you think about’s your sanity, and how it decayed
there’s no place to run. no place to hide
you can’t escape the fact that you’ve lost your mind
you can’t erase your mistakes. there’s no way to rewind
the harder you look, the harder it is to find
fear feeds the derangement of the inner eye
with nothing left you find yourself falling to madness, so you dive
so you dive (repeated)

and with each foot you fall
the voice in your head starts to sound more and more like yours

LOC - gang control
I'm being hunted by paleface in blue
and these cracka' spooks are haunting you too
With municipal shovels they're out digging our graves
Under threat of reprisal we abide to enslave

Policia, policia; why can't you see
Your bullets will never pacify me
I don't fight the world; the world fights me
Cause the gang in control is the fucking P.D.

Fuck the police they're gang control
We've gotta take it back
Everyone get up and let's go

------

Operation ivy - officer

Do you have to force yourself with power and control
Do you feel the need to live your life playing up a role
Intimidating people with your wall of sight and sound
You and your kind destroy our underground
All the happiness that you have destroyed
All the brutal tactics that you always employ
All the fucking bullshit when will it ever stop
The comparison is obvious: you're just a fucking cop
Officer - you act like an animal, you're out of control
Officer - what the hell is wrong with you
Wear a tie if you want to wear a uniform
Join the army if you want to conform
Tough guy big man do what you can
Whatever you destroy we'll create it again

------

Sfh - two cups of tea

Two dead police
One for hope and one for peace
Watching government lies
Leak into your empty eyes
From the TV and winners history

Three dead police
One for thanks and two for please
In every single town, every officer is down
All dead police, all dead police

-------

LOC - burn them prisons

Sublime April 29th (Leary version)

They said it was for the black man
They said it was for the Mexican
And not for the white man
But if you look at the streets, it wasn't about Rodney King
It's this fucked-up situation and these fucked-up police
It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
And screamin' 1-8-7 on a mother fuckin' cop
It's not in the paper, it's on the wall
National guard
Smoke from all around

Dedicated to Donald trump:

Dead kennedys - great wall

Great Wall of China
It's so big it's seen from outer space
Put there to keep starving neighbors
Locked outside the gates
What's changed today?

Empires hoard more than they need
And peasants threaten our comfort
We'll build a Great Wall around our power
Build a Great Wall around our power
Bankrupt L.A.'s streetcar line
So people pay more to drive
Plant strategic freeways
To divide neighborhoods by color lines
We'd rather pay for riot squads
Than pump your ghetto back to life
We let your schools decay on purpose
To build a Great Wall around our power
Another Great Wall around our power
Warlords in grey suits
Take a different route to work each day
Second-hand green berets
Form the companies' private armies.
We'll take all your gold
But won't teach reading or feed your poor
The League of Gentleman
Would rather feed guns to puppet dictators
There's too many people in your world
And refugees are expensive
When they trickled down onto our soil
We hunt them and arrest them
Classify them insane
And put them back on the next plane
To the waiting arms
Of the same death squads they fled
We've built a Great Wall around our power
Economic Great Wall around our power
Worldwide Great Wall around our power
Give us your poor,
Your tired and your weak
We'll send 'em right back
To their certain death
