SYNERGIES LYRICS


I wake to the dark and tension
Builds up all around me
Is that the room moving
Or my eyes? taksu

Witching hour, candle burning
But the walls show it is flick’ring
Casting shadows, something bigger, taksu

I stand to a soft attention
And i know it isn’t messing,
I am in presence of spirit taksu

She is dancing all around me,
Coaxing me to come and join her
I know that she is pure flow, taksu

Brave is the day
Gratefully taken in
Feeling our way
Until the lights flood in
Find me on my own
Am I on a road leading to nowhere?
I’m gonna show
You a part of me i thought i’d left out there

Synergies
Synergies

Sister, let me in
When you are the puppet, i throw shadow
Let you come alive, i am flow

Feel that mystery
Sparkling as you lift off, take off,
nothing matters but the moment, you know

Systems, covet me
But if i culminate too much they get too scared
Don’t wanna touch what your own

Vision, it may be
So let the power, let it flow, let it wash over, let it grow, into -

Do you know
What it means to be restless?
Do you know how
To still a mind?
Do you know how to see the best in
Yours and mine?

Is it too much
to check your patience
Is it too much to ask for time?
Do you feel its an obligation -
Yours, or mine?

Brave is the day
Gratefully taken in
Feeling our way
Until the lights flood in
Find me on my own
Am I on a road leading to nowhere?
I’m gonna show
You a part of me i thought i’d left out there
