HUNDREDTH LYRICS

1. Wake

[Instrumental]

2. Shelter

Separation from everything.
You boarded up your mind
With whatever you could find.
You chose shelter over the storm
So you could still smile.
You thought hiding from the truth
Would be worthwhile.

I'd rather be awake and fight the misery.
I'll waste away if I stay asleep in my apathy.
I'm not satisfied, trapped in a lie
Locked inside, self-defiled
Mental Suicide

I see further and I feel more finely
And if that burden be the curse
With which I must walk the earth
It's a price worth paying.

Does the body rule the mind?
Or does the mind rule the body?

I think I finally know.
We have to fold something to make ends meet
We're backed into a corner
And forced to live on our knees.
They shun those who think
And silence those who speak.
But fuck authority,
Leaders make us weak.

Shelter your mind
For a little while
From the cold
Truth outside.

Evacuate.

3. Resist

Believing our fate is dictated
By that of which it was created
Leaves the human struggle unmediated.
Leaving destiny separated
Between the isolated and manipulated.

The human spirit deteriorated
By fear of being castigated
For refusing to bow to thrones predicated
By the falsely consecrated.

Under human rule we are dominated
The more indoctrinated, the more emaciated.

As we adopt blind faith,
We disregard thought and choose to obey.

The choice lies with the manipulated
Whether to be incarcerated or emancipated.
Power reinstated
To the people now back where it originated.
Rehabilitated.

All power eliminated.
All wealth circulated.
All thrones eradicated.
All humanity rehabilitated.

Embrace thought and never obey.

4. Demons

no one can save me from
my demons they're all around me, and they don't come from hell
every single one of them reminds me of myself.

the strongest are seared with scars
through their suffering,
they find out who they are

some may say i've lost my faith,
i just got up off my knees
stopped staring into the sky
and started looking inside of me.

i am not governed by anything but my consciousness.
bring forth from within, i am the only one who can save me from

my demons, they're all around me, they don't come from hell
every single one of them reminds me of myself.

we think about thinking
and feel about feeling
plaguing ourselves with perpetual anxiety

we live our lives acting
instead of just being.
egos rule our masked society

think about thinking
feel about feeling
live our lives acting
instead of just being

sovereign and independent
we've lost our innocence

so we waste our lives,
waiting for someone to save us from

our demons they are all around us, and they don't come from hell
every single one of them reminds us of ourselves.

we can't set ourselves free, by fighting them away
we turn inward, and our perception will change.

5. Manifest

My ego lives in fear, it thrives on approval.
Mask blinding spirit, hiding the unknown.
Consciousness misled until the removal.
I'll never understand without letting go.
Afraid of silence and the truth it might tell.
Instead of facing my soul, I distract myself.
Illuminate each day, set free from the past.
I shed my body and manifest.

I am the one,
The one that I've been waiting for.
As I seek inward, I create the world.
You are the one,
We are the ones,
The ones that we've been waiting for.

I have to reach beyond illusion to find reality.
Ego and spirit are two separate things
And the world is not the problem,
The problem is me.
I shed my body and manifest.

I am the one,
The one that I've been waiting for.
As I seek inward, I create the world.
You are the one,
We are the ones,
The ones that we've been waiting for.

The ones that we've been waiting for.
The ones that we've been waiting for.
That we've been waiting for.

Fear is the foundation of my insecurities,
The root of my anger and hostility,
Of despair and agony.
I'll be a slave to my ego until I transform.

The end is the beginning.

6. Wage

[Taken from S. Brian Wilson, Waging Unconditional Peace 2/21/2009]

Yes, I’m talking about a non-violent revolution of consciousness.
A consciousness that is able to understand
how we’re all inextricably connected to each other on this Earth,
and to the Earth itself.
And that if we violate those fundamental principles, we do so at our own peril.
Yes, we can continue to live in this delusion and the denials of reality
because it’s painful, it’s frightening.
Sometimes, it’s terrifying.
It's terrifying to face the truth.
So I ask each of you to search your hearts,
as to what your truth is,
for being a citizen of the Earth,
promoting justice as a foundation for peace.
It’s not going to happen magically,
it’s not going to happen by relying on these political structures and institutions.
I think we’re going to have to wage peace in the most extraordinary ways
whether our government wants it or not.
Without a non-violent revolution of consciousness,
we will not survive as a civilization or as a planet.
We can choose to have peace if we want to pay the price.
And what more glorious goal than peace for all people?
...To build a new society, a society that understands
that we are not worth more, and they are not worth less.
And that we will be willing to pay the price and take the risks
to wage peace with all fellow and sister human beings.
