lyrics

I don’t know where to start from where I’m sitting
With everything around me so defined
But how could I begin with no beginning
The universe is vast, alive and breathing
Growing out of sight and out of mind
Every particle enthralled with being

As above, so below
And so deep, deep, deep within
I don’t give any credence to the power of entropy
Or any of its meaningless kin

I sing to radiate the light
What else could I possibly desire?
Dust to water, ashes into life
Springing forth, a vision of unparalleled delight
This is what I came for
If I can’t steal the thunder
Maybe I can borrow
I was the archer
And now I am the arrow

It’s time to stop believing what you’re seeing
Put down the obsolete book of rules
And start to see what you believe in
Maybe confirmation bias is a misunderstanding of the fact that we have a reciprocal relationship with the world…

Do we visualise what we most desire to manifest?
Or does what-wants-to-be put down roots in our fertile subconscious?
‘Cause most of the visions are coming unbidden
Spiriting away my doubt and all this indecision
A two-way exchange between the wisher and what they’re wishing
Inextricably intertwined, the dreamer and the dreaming
Fractals and patterns sparking off reactions
Deep down, deep down inside
Now enjoy the ride...

I sing to radiate the light
What else could I possibly desire?
Dust to water, ashes into life
Springing forth, a vision of unparalleled delight
This is what I came for
If I can’t steal the thunder
Maybe I can borrow
I was the archer
And now I am the arrow

I was the archer, now I am the arrow
