The Way - Apex Zero
Written by:GI (Christopher Buckley)/Apex Zero (Nathan Francois)
I sit staring at a cold sun
Forcing it's rays through the stitches of a grey veil
The sky below is deep but the shades pale
The wind rushes through my spirit like a ship's sail
I'm submerged in this city
Connect with the earth under pavement
Searching for nature
I meditate on road under streetlights
Sit writing and chanting my mantras beneath trees
Forged with the souls of the ancients
I thrive off their wisdom
I drink from the infinite stream of existence
Strive to sync my moves with the flow of the Tao
As it was then is as it is now
And as it will be then
Beyond the grasp of women and men
As it was then is as it is now
And as it will be then
Far beyond the grasp of men
We live our lives in routines that only end when we do
To keep our hearts beating
Sleep wake breathe air eat food
We reproduce
Then what we produce reproduces
Grow up like we did wondering what life and truth is
We look out of the windows of our Souls
Setting chasing goals
As time shifts through decades centuries millennia
Spread out behind and ahead of ya
Eternally
We focus on our tiny lives searching for what our purpose be
Tryna buld something worthwhile before our time's done
For some life's a war
They wanna say that they've won
For some life's a test
They wanna say that they've passed
For some life's an idea
They wanna say that they've grasped
But can we
With all our weaknesses and limits
Tryna overstand the infinite in lives merely made of minutes
Tryna bring existence to a level we can wrap our head round
Capture the universe in words we can sound
Over simplifying the thing that is the most complex
Imagine life in our image
Compress it into concepts
Kind of insane
We live and die on this plane so we claim
Everything must be subject to the same
The universe is in a state of constant change
Yet things that have always been
Might have always been
And may always remain
Life works in cycles or circles or spheres
We try place limits on the infinite to deal with our fear
Of not knowing
And knowing that we don't know
We make facts from theories and lies
To get on with our lives
Ask for answers we could never start to overstand
Live following some next heads guess
Serving their plans
Making worse the situation that we try to mend
We disregard or bend forces we can't even comprehend
Never mind explain
Or act in their name
Or know what they think or say
Guess it's the human way
Leads some to wage war and some to claim they don't exist
Claiming all we see is all there is
No higher force
But maybe we're too small to see the scale of it
The sun don't chill or set we turn away from it
What we call truth now aint all there is
Maybe every theory's right and wrong
Balanced opposites
The battle constantly but opposites attract
For every action there an opposite that's equal and exact
Opposites in perfect balance keep the universe in tact
Life death being non-being
Autumn Spring Yang and Ying
Maybe we live forever and for just a passing bit
Maybe we're the whole universe and just a part of it
Maybe we're nothing and everything that's ever been
All and nothing
All that exists without exists within
Maybe when you realise your nothing you can learn to see
That you are everything
Everything that you will ever need
And so
I sit staring at a cold sun
Forcing it's rays through the stitches of a grey veil
The sky below is deep but the shades pale
The wind rushes through my spirit like a ship's sail
I'm submerged in this city
Connect with the earth under pavements
Searching for nature
I mediate on road under streetlights
Sit writing and chanting my mantras beneath trees
Forged with the souls of the ancients
I thrive off their wisdom
I drink from the infinite stream of existence
Strive to sync my moves with the flow of the Tao
As it was then is as it is now
And as it will be then
Beyond the grasp of women and men
As it was then is as it is now
And as it will be then
Far beyond the grasp of men
Far beyond the grasp of men
Far beyond the grasp of men
