Steps (Loose Chains)

It took me a minute to gather my words
I'm taking things step by step nowadays
I'm trying to change my ways
I'm taking everything at a proper pace
... at least for today
It gets overwhelming when I don't put a filter on it
I can't be the only one who revisits the past so often
Back and forth
Between right and wrong
What I should have said, What I could have changed
What I would have done
It's all done, set in stone
No going back, no wrinkle in time
To live life in regret is to live life in waste
No one will take you higher than you will take yourself
So plant the seeds and make sure to water the plants
Watch your creation unfold
Only you can make the chains loose
As time unravels, return to your muse

A timpani eardrum
Pounding through my skull into my brain
I did this to myself
Dried my water reserves
Morning headaches
Chemical imbalances
I've grown tired of my surroundings
A quiet life sounds astounding
Hypothetically speaking
What if these troubles that got me freaking out
aren't real - a mental dead end
No resolve but I can pretend
I've dumbed myself down
I swear I can change
Seeking thrills, seeking truth, seeking knowledge
Wasting time is a tragedy
I'm not searching for answers
I'm evolving for strength
Why do we kill brain cells for pleasure?
Why do we make excuses for failure?
Why do we take pills for well-being?
Why do we kill each other for survival?
Why do we kill brain cells for pleasure?
I've dumbed myself down
Are you still listening?
Are you still here?
Do these melodies mean anything to you at all?
Are you surprised?
Are you frightened?
Are these questions getting through at all?
Hypothetically speaking
What if these troubles that got me freaking out
Aren't real - a mental dead end
No resolve but I can pretend
I've dumbed myself down I swear I can change
Seeking thrills, seeking truth, seeking knowledge
Wasting time is a tragedy
I'm not searching for answers I'm evolving for strength

I don't need to do this
You don't need to listen
We're in a holographic universe
But I'm sure space and time mean nothing to you right now
You're right, You're wrong
Dual concepts and constructs
Oblivious self-destruction
Mental cacophonous
Fear of metropolis
Days are monotonous
We feel anonymous
Moments you forget
You're stuck inside your head
Days are miraculous
So what the problem is - is you've been overthinking all along
I will fight for you
but I will not shed blood
You are here, you are sacred
and besides I'd rather dance to wee hours of the morn
Then wish I'd never been born
Fall in love with synchronicity
Embrace all ethnicities
Find your roots and return to mother nature
All of the above
Easier said than done
Cognitive dissonance
Barrel of the gun... we ruin all the fun
Nature take the reins and wash it all away
I am guilty too of abandoning you
I am abandoning my
Hypocritical negative train of thought
I refuse to be a micro-chipped robot
What's with the humanistic urge to conquer and purge
I regurgitate the words of a spirt so hurt
This virtual reality could be a utopian plane
But here we are self-medicating
Goin' insane here we go
a' preachin' again
I'm just a creature and it's kinda neat you're here with me
You're here with me
But do you hear me?
Don't forget that we are spirits
Living as one
Lay down all thought and surrender to the void
Choose your own adventure baby
Nature will call you maybe
The universe knows you're not crazy
I don't need to do this
You don't need to listen
We're in a holographic universe
But I'm sure space and time mean nothing to you right now
You're right, You're wrong
Dual concepts and constructs
Oblivious self-destruction
Mental cacophonous
Fear of metropolis
Days are monotonous
We feel anonymous
Moments you forget
You're stuck inside your head
Days are miraculous
So what the problem is - is you've been overthinking all along

Seeing through new eyes
Rinsing off the dirt and grime
I've seen the perils of inaction
Bedridden, how does it happen?
I spent most of my twenties
A scrambled mess of a brain
I spent the last decade
On the verge of insane
All the feels
Eat healthy meals
Eat food from the Earth
Read books, ride bikes
Feed your brain
This is your show
So surreal
You can heal, face yourself
Look within
Summon your powers out of the ether
We need your powers
Send that magic out your fingertips
I spent ten years in a fit of anger
Floating on a river
Tainted by jealous fervor
Not feeling included
my consciousness diluted
Alienation from those I love
In a fit of anger
Ain't too late to simplify
You cannot turn back the time
Pick yourself up off the ground and get reborn
Now's your chance to simplify
Do something with your time
Put yourself back in the game
Rebirth of a zombie
When you first rev up to fly
You may not make it to the sky
One day you'll come around and get airborne
Work up courage to go defy
All the times you felt like nothing
Feel the air beneath your wings
You're a natural!
Got the urge to redefine
All the hurt you've kept inside
Shed the exoskeleton. you're reborn
The wind is at your back
Aim high above the horizon
Feel the air beneath your wings
You're airborne
Simplifier, simplify
Simplify your life
Simplify your thoughts
All the clutter
Throw it all away and restart
I spent ten years
In a fit of anger
Floating on a river
Tainted by jealous fervor
Not feeling included
My consciousness diluted
Alienation from those I love
In a fit of anger

What a terribly odd chain of events
The plot thickens, the mind expands
The words fall out
Darkness falls I'm free
Free-falling in the tunnel
I am sickened by people and their beliefs
I am dumbed down by the internet
Why play around? Why play stupid?
This is what somebody wanted
Static memory, delayed reaction
Fragmented machine
Discombobulated
Vacant delivery
Hesitation
Lobotomize my temple and erase all information
Chemical relief
Eyeball Dilation
Whatever could have been done any different?
The plot thickens. the mind expands
The words fall out
Darkness falls on me
Free-falling in the darkness
Narcoleptic attempt trying to escape
There is work to be done and no time to tap out
Time won't wait for you
It's such a cliche but it's the truth
A narcotic attempt just trying to escape
There is work to be done and your tapping out
Now you've lost it all
Sorry my friend, sorry it's the end
Static memory
Delayed reaction
Fragmented machine
Discombobulated
Vacant delivery
Hesitation
Chemical relief
Eyeball Dilation
I get sick of this
I get sick of observing
and worrying about the future
'Cuz I mean shit man..
so what are we even here for?
What? Did I just commit a party foul?
'Cuz I can't take anything seriously anymore
There's no balance and all that we've worked hard for
could vanish into thin air
I get sick of this - sick of observing
And worrying .. I keep worrying
About the future
The point of no return
Why so serious?
I'm just getting started...
I'm sickened by people and their beliefs
The plot thickens, the mind expands
The words fall out
What are we here for?
Static memory
Delayed reaction
Fragmented machine
Discombobulated
Vacant delivery
Hesitation
Lobotomize my temple and erase all information
Chemical relief

Always Here (ft. Joe Re)
05:54

I am here
I will be here
I have been here
Always here for you
You are never there
You won't ever be there
You are always here in the now
Holding nothing back
Nothing is what it seems
We are intimate beings
Let's see what the future brings
Your world sings to me
Your world's a giving tree
I climbed too high
I am falling down with the leaves
Leave the attitude
You leave an impact
A seismic crater
More than you'll ever know

Naked Me

Elevated feelings
Like the high we got
when we first saw our patterns weave together
Complicated beings
Simplify and realize that life is neverending circles
Buzzin' in the sun
Now feels great
The energy is explosive
You show me where now is
This is where the magic happens
Elevated feelings
Like the high we got
when we first saw our patterns weave together
Complicated beings
Simplify and realize that life is neverending circles
Elevated feelings
Like the joy we get
We can put our lives back in order
Diversify your words
'Cuz this is one big circle
I feel free when I'm naked
No clothes on my body
Just naked me
No fear or foe or worry
Just naked me
I
I am me, I am free, here is my song
I've got some baggage
At least I have cabbage, I know you know Ha!
The colors are staring me right in the face
The feels are real like the wings of humminbirds
Like a blur
I
I'm smart enough to know what I cannot change
I'm dumb when I lose it, throwing tantrums like a kid
Can I just say it's wonderful to know you?
You've touched my heart in a way that can't be undone
This is where the magic happens
This is where the magic happened

Life is not always positive
The thing about negativity...
The only way is to push forward
Take only what you need for your life
and push on with your life
Take what you need
Go on the wild ride
I've been recording for the past
Listening for the future
Singing for the present
Observing for eternity
Couldn't get zombie out of bed today
Hard to shake the cobwebs off my brain
Vultures are rippin' everything away
All our freedoms and liberties
Humans have so much more to give
This hell isn't how we have to live
We're fearsome, we're lonesome
We win some, we lose some
We're chromosomes, awesome!
I've seen some shit
I get so stuck
Still working through pain and regret
and just when I think that I've dealt with all the troubles of my past
I need to not make things such a struggle for myself
It's a daily effort
You know what you have to do
You know you have to work hard
But still you get stuck
I'm going to show you the way out
It may not feel like it
You may not believe me
But it's you
I've been recording for the past
Listening for the future
Singing for the present
Observing for eternity
Take only what you need for your life
and push on with your life
Take what you need
Go on the wild ride

The latest craze
The fear of missing out
Nocturnal musings
The fear is in my head
I'm dead
Drunken kiss
You think you can get this?
Amend this mess and we'll talk
I look forward to when the dust will settle
Alcohol-fueled words
You thought may be the truth
Well it might be
You think you can get through this?
Well what's stopping you
Is it your excuses?
It's hard to fathom stillness
Will this cabin fever
drift into the ether on a frozen meteor?
Down the cosmic highway
A dreamlike fantasy
That I would like to see
Don't you laugh at me
I would like to see
A good life for everyone
Different paths, lotta laughs
Adventures in nature
Contemplative culture
Freedom from the vultures
Not indulge in fascist
Cults and lies that media
Perpetuate and turn us into
Consumers like that's all we'll ever be
Life comes at ya
and knocks you down
It don't stop 'til you're underground
People fendin' for themselves
Racing 'til the end it isn't real
Well I hope I don't take the wind from out your sails
You want it your way
to find the holy grail
All this manmade bullshit
Intolerance is blind, and haters are cruel
We're stuck in a bad loop

If you love relentlessly
Perhaps you were put here
To heal this reality
If you think deeply
Perhaps you were put here
To give things meaning
If you feel like a victim
It is time to take matters into your own hands
If you feel out of rhythm
Take time to make time
Remember to breathe
You are our only hope
Hope springs eternal
If you hear this song
Perhaps we were meant to know each other in this life
That is our only hope
Remember to breathe
You are our only hope
Hope springs eternal
That is our only hope
You Make Sense

Zombie Mañana Chicago, Illinois
Hello, I'm Zombie Mañana. No fear is the next frontier. PERSEVERE; embrace the blood, sweat, and tears.
This half-man,
half-dream seeks refuge from this place, this world where everything is a race. Tragedies and adversities taught me more than universities. Happiness and ecstasy comes from living with no jealousy. All it takes to be inspiring is to be inspired, and now is the time to rewire.
