Lyrics

I want to see the hidden stuff
To see what's hiding 'neath my eyes
To Behold beyond reality
What's in back of the disguise

What's lurking behind the curtain
The secrets behind the mask
Who's pulling all the strings
That's all I simply ask

Just tell me
Just show me
Unveil it
I implore thee
Reveal it
I need it
To factually
Explore it

Some say our thoughts control this
Some say an eternal God
Some say there's multi universes
All assigned with the same job

Could it be vibrations
All thrumming through this mess?
Energy pulsations
Rotates in endlessness?

They say
Just wait
Until you die
Then you will know it all
But what
If that
Is just a lie
And nothing is recalled

I want to see the hidden stuff
To hear what's hiding near my ears
To perceive beyond reality
What's behind what does appear

Is it an endless canvas
All painted void of black
That's decorated sparsely
With intermittent light

Is it dripping strings of ciphers
That leads to distant realms
Is it like piano strings
That sing amongst themselves

One time when I was young
A meditation trance
Or lack of sleep
Or who knows what
The veil it slipped askance
I saw the drops of truth
Ascending up the wall
A revelation rare
Like living tiny balls
I doubted mine own eyes
And then my cat appeared
she batted in delight
Leaped at those tiny spheres
Did she prove that I was right?
Those tiny spheres of light?

I want to know the hidden stuff
To see what's hiding in my mind
To Behold beyond reality
What's in back of the disguise
Is it God?
Who can I trust?
Is it nothing?
Is it us?

Just tell me
Just show me
Unveil it
I implore thee
Reveal it
Be straight
What's there?
Don't make we wait
It's getting late
It's my fate
It's getting late
It's my fate

Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
