The Secret of Life

You don't fool me
No way you're going to school me,
Won't be used as a tool, me
I'm the only one who can rule me
Every day under the iridescent sun I think
Channel my energies take my thinking to the brink
Of reality, and before into fantasy I sink
Centre my mind on the present as quick as a wink
This kind of illusive mental behaviour
Has become my rebirth and my saviour
And now my synapses, all they crave for
Is more of this potent neurological flavour
First the ideas flow slowly
Then they begin to flow boldly
Till at once they flow solely
As if there's the flow only
And the beauty just blows me
Away
Like I'm on a tide that just tows me away
My eyes open to the phenomena of the every day
Wakes my senses like ocean breeze and salt spray
I feel blessed every time that I open my eyes
Like I got woke and every moment's a surprise
And now the falsehood is broke every moment's a prize
I'm in permanent rapture like some kind of cocaine high
So here's the lesson from all this that I've learned
Don't let your soul freeze, set it on fire let it burn
Become infatuated with the beauty at every last turn
And with this, the wisdom of the universe you will earn
