8. Chasm:

Rift Between Body, Mind, & Soul

Deeper than the ocean blue, is it possible to see clearly at this depth? How is a person to maintain a level of vigilance and authenticity while diving to the surface below? Delivering an introspection of perspective, the thoughts of what others may see, versus what the individual sees, it's strange how internal conflict aids in the balance of one’s own person, and the unification with the worlds of others. The chasm that separates the fish from birds, the stars from sand, begin to focus on the glowing shores where the water is too deep, or the world is too shallow.

In the mirror, what is seen? In the water, what is reflected? Is this the truth, a lie, or one of the many interpretations of the limits and boundaries of an individual point?

Lyrics

“There’s a rift like a chasm,
Bullets in the soul,
Deeper than the ocean,
People saying that I’m… gold.

What do they know
About the person that I see?
When I’m looking in the mirror
Question: Who am I to… be?

Who am I to change,
And who am I to live?
I’ve been fighting every day,
Running like a little kid.

Keep distracted from the pain;
Picking petals in the mid-morning… light,
Do I say okay, I’m alright?

Searching for some style;
Decorations on the sleeve.
It’s no wonder I rebel.
Tattoo stitches that say, “free”.

Eleven forty-three,
Adds to life path number nine.
Spelling out my second name,
The number saying never mind.

Never mind the fact
You gained pain from the past,
Cuz the person that you are
I know that pain will never last

Cast a laugh,
So contrar to the left side,
While I’m feeling with this heart inside
As this mind has shifted… right.

————

It’s alright, it’s alright.
Yeah
Who am I to be when the mirror is in sight?
Oh
It’s alright, it’s alright.
Yeah
Who am I to be?
Yo, who’s the one you see?
Oh

It’s alright, it’s alright.
Yeah
Who am I to be when the mirror is in sight?
Oh
It’s alright, it’s alright.
Yeah
Who am I to be?
Yo, who’s the one you see?
Oh

Yeah,
Who am I to be,
What do you all see?
When you listen to the song and hear the melody,
Hear the lyrics and the Symmetry,
Chemistry,
Break it down like,
Sedimentary,

Elementary,
Something that you can’t believe,
Saying that I have achieved,
Mastery,
So masterly,
It’s happening,
So rapidly,
Now, please let it be,
I’d like to breathe,

Yeah,
I’d like to breathe,
Please.

————-

Rift like a chasm,
Bullets in the…
Deeper than the ocean;
People saying that I’m…

But what do they know
About the person that I am?
Maybe I don’t see
That they all do give a… damn.

Who am I to say
This will all go, fade away,
Black sun,
Sky grey,
Who am I to be?
Who am I to change?
Tell them I’m okay,
I’m alright.
I’m just asking questions cus the mirror…
Is in sight”
