Elysian Gates (Alaya Pt. 2) Video (MV)

When was the last time you opened your eyes?
Prize them wide
The world is waiting for you while you're absorbed by tyrannical matter
A trembling sheep, bleating without character
Confront your autonomous mind
Harness the power inside
Connect the dots
Take the thread between your fingers
And weave your own fabric of existence
There should be no doors to your mind
Locking out understanding of human experience
In all of its perplexing variance
Join me, as I close my eyes and pull up the scars
Viewing from afar
As I harness my knowledge of how to repair
Taught to me by despair
Distance doesn't heal
Only disguises
Through desperation
We cloak ourselves with camouflage
But take a look underneath
Gaze into the constellations
Of stubborn stars
Mapping out your journey
You may already see
That you're halfway there
Push further
Find the strength you stowed in unsealed boxes
It's always been right there to find and realise your capacity for regeneration
Once you free yourself from the emancipation
Of trying to build something so strong on weak foundations
Go deep underground
Dig out the safety and love which always lay amongst the dirt and tar
And exhume peace
We all carry secrets
Never to be spoken
But what is the past to the future?
Nothing but a memory
If we don't make shame the essence of who we are
Even if you're in the gutter
Grab a foothold
And stand your ground
The ladder rungs will manifest
Once you've got the strength to climb
Your hands will never be free
If you cling to the bottle
Sobriety strips the numb comfort
Which makes it so easy to keep our eyes shut from the world
Keep them open
See the possibility that life isn't what it seems
Be the positive change in a progressive world
Make enough ripples in the water
That they'd create a tsunami collectively
Be the person you aspire to be
It doesn't matter how deep you have to dig into yourself to heal
If you can't find a way to live life with love
Love is the only thing what matters
Love one another
We are one
