Digital Jesus

Our father who art in heaven...

Box

Orthodoxy checklist in your head
Vomit up the Pabulum you've been fed
Now the best that you can do
Is to try not to come unglued

'Cos truth don't care what you say or do
(You've cracked the black box)
And you don't care if what you say ain't true
(You've cracked the black box)
The one thing you don't know
Is that there's nothing that you know
You've become too certain of yourself

You don't delouse your dogma anymore
Your dogma doesn't catalyze no more
You struggle and you strain
To keep that calcium on your brain

The universe don't care about your view
(You've cracked the black box)
Go ahead, hallucinate your truth
(You've cracked the black box)
The one thing you don't know
Is that there's nothing that you know
You've become too certain of yourself

Blame everybody but yourself
Shame on everybody but yourself
Slip and struggle out of blame
Talk your way out of your shame

Pretend the world is everything you say
Reality can't use you anyway
You'll never clear your eyes
'Cos you prefer your lies

The universe is bigger than you dream
(You've cracked the black box)
Your truth is so much smaller than it seems
(You've cracked the black box)
The one thing you don't know
Is that there's nothing that you know

You're trapped forever in your tiny box

What Have You Done

What have you done, boy?
What have you done with your life?
What have you done, boy?
What have you done with your day?

You let it slip from your past
F low out to sea
Each moment's here but then it's
Gone forever

What have you done, boy?
What have you done to yourself?
What have you done, boy?
What have you done with your time?

You let it slip from your past
F low out to sea
Each moment's here but then it's
Gone forever

Take the moment by the reigns,
Don't let is slip away
Don't be afraid of your desires
Open wide your heart
Don't hesitate to be yourself
Don't restrain your laughter or your tears
The heavy cloud will lift away
When you claim this day as yours

What have you done, girl?
What have you done with your love?
What have you done, girl?
What have you done with your passion?

Take the moment by the reigns,
Don't let is slip away
Don't be afraid of your desires
Open wide your heart
Don't hesitate to be yourself
Don't be afraid to feel the love and all the pain
The heavy cloud will lift away
When you claim this day as yours

Don't let is slip from your grasp
Flow out to sea
Your chance is here and then it's
Gone forvver

Tao (You Cannot Move Me)

I'm looking at it but I cannot see it
It is formless
I'm listening but I cannot hear it
It is Soundless
I'm reaching for it but cannot touch it
Asomatous
Something far too grand to comprehend
You cannot move me
You cannot move me

The top of it is never lit by sunlight
The underside is never in the dark
Confront it and you cannot view its face
Follow it's footsteps but you'll see it has no back

All tangles come untied
All angles become gentle curves
All the lights are harmonized
And in the place
I cannot be moved

You cannot move me

Apotheosis

...for thine is the kingdom...

Box (instrumental remix)

Blame!
Shame!
Slip!
