ESSENCE OF THE HEART SUTRA

by Dex

This write-up lives in the mind of the listener.
Adding anything more spoils the meaning
living in each word. Side A (1-5),
Side B (6-10), Bonificaciones (11-15)

(Lyrics)

Time at the altar like,
these items signify,
worths be thy own..
pearls of wisdom if you've ever been shown,
peace is to simplify,
to sees to be deceived,
to hears to be misled,
to feel is to believe,
surrender all you know,
to reach the zen bridge,
expand on bell tolls,
loose with the form,
even pedals get you on,
invisible ink marking the song,
aura divisions in the simulation,
no seeking the abundant incursion,
nature of many cycles..
spirit — fluctuating from stillness
(vibrations)

________________________________


Feel the truth inside you,
free the essence of all parts,
(I say) feel the life force within you,
the essence of the heart

(Oh-oh) free of the hold,
the five skandhas approach,
no obstacles — nothing to grasp,
rivers of the essence, derailment,
pure meaning (glitch) perfect vision,
the age of understanding,
beyond perceptions,
transcendence..
the most powerful sutra,
ending all suffering,
empty — perfect wisdom,
true nature..
free of wisdom to attain,
peace for all who ponder,
complete with already is,
complete (complete)
feel your true heart
feel your true heart

Gate Gate Paragate,
Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha,
Gone, gone, gone beyond,
(gone all together beyond)
Oh what an awakening

(Dex)
​We’re still unshaken (still unshaken)
right above the influence (we hold strong)
shining through your heart source,
gone beyond illumination,
sharing out our culmination

(ClariSh)
Teyata Om,
Gate Gate Paragate,
Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha,
Gone, gone, gone beyond,
(gone all together beyond)
Oh what an awakening

Tonic offerings we saw what Antwone did,
locate the missing kin from two-fold abandonment,
(hmm) only leads to vinyan..
rather be wayward wayfarer in distant land,
dropped classics this for my spiritual masses,
conscious won't guild for fame and fortune,
I do say do wield worldly acceptance,
make room for new sounds,
echoes interwoven in timeless,
again, calculate your timing,
life never ends but the form bends,
pressed-in folded corners,
continental globetrotting,
real travel within ones' own mind..
hermetic soon to be nameless,
long forgotten life in shadows,
visionary wisdom and kindness,
but for my skin they setting up the gallows,
asceticism like they pray for gain,
built a career off long and mcquade,
still inspired long as she's in the livewire,
if things turn sour it's really all nuclear,
in the absence of novelty, things deplete,
warp speed time wash another cycle,
compounding eulogies,
rare to be self-sustained,
never needing a refill (huh)
no love-spill the cup runneth (swoon how)
does it feel to have enough room,
more mysteries in liberated tendencies,
third eye to faux-generosity,
the propriety of showcasing realities,
always measured — a postscript symphony,
never out of order..
attend to your own horrors,
turned fort frolic to stone garden,
still ascetic-maze said it,
some go their whole life not knowing,
the author of their own page.. (inSane)
still ascetic-maze said it,
some go their whole life not knowing,
the author of their own page

Masterless and they don't understand,
Side B

________________________________


So fragile,
so many fall for the outcry,
anyone with ears is out of mind..

Stronger than it's ever been,
I'm the Siren of Myth,
with a universe within,
spectrum of consciousness,
going out (repeated)
it goes out

Or so I thought til' they came along,
immune to my spell,

laying up under night air,
when they rise I'll be right there,
I did a show of affection (gasp)
was met with something relentless,
greed in the face of love..
the rest is left to your imagination,
I woke up with no sense of arrangement,
but know......
karma never misses an engagement

What will we do when,
our memory leaks (repeated)
all our memories

What will we do when,
our memory leaks (repeated)
all our memories,
all the confusion,
occasions of delusion

(Oh) warped realities,
and regrets unseen,
warped realities,
and regrets unseen

They set in..
'cause health will stop you from moving,
the depiction can't be controlled

What will we do when,
our memory leaks (repeated)
all our memories

What will we do when,
our memory leaks (repeated)
all our memories,
all the confusion,
occasions of delusion

(Sample)

Do with a verse what a 1000 pages brings,
I've studied the greats in solar storms (yeah)
built up a collection that's timeproof,
a true master bending the form,
the sound of silence beyond the shadow of verignon,
another theorem to combat erasure,
(huh) extinction just a skipping stone,
exercising spirits on every gramophone,
default in an out-of-body second pressing,
'cause yeah,
outside the margins are health misfortunes,
sorrows, distress – self-contained,
down in the pitch where no light flicks,
it's rare to see these kind of blessings,
where love and (glitch) priorities measure,
observationDex folded arms,
people in they lives, they just carry on,
when I disappear tell me how long,
would you mark as sacred..
days, months, years or eternalism

________________________________


Caretaker in a hospital wing,
what more than hear you sing,
nurses say it's terminal,
nine days and two months to go,
I'm here to support this dream,
you want to finish those pages,
in a bind – printed – elated,
you light the whole infrastructure,
thinking about what to put first

Here holding space no forfeit,
money nothing but dust on a portrait,
eternally connected..

in your own metropolis,
while outside is mayhem,
replicas moving stranger-stranger,
oppressive laws still signal danger,
we imagine (you)topias,
perfection in all-all-all of us,
caretakers on the up and up,
what you're creating – this coalition,
might save this whole existence,
remember your harvest,
life reflections.. so much healing,
remnants when you transcend,
ghost weavers with stitch intentions,
ready to rebuild from fragments,
using your angel dust (left for all of us)
but you know it's never over..
just another pass on the 'coaster,
and I'll see you soon I promise
(implying souls united)

How to navigate after they go go,
how to navigate after they they go,
how to navigate ay ay ay ay (click)

They're really in everything you see,
the water, the fan, the air it brings,
boundless, this connective dream,
spirit weavers relay innate reach,
the potential even at your lowest,
heart in the song the seeds already growing,
no tears the roots always symbolic,
the smile sown – a gallery showing,
navigate do feel the presence,
the other realm awaits, our-next-home,
shells alleviate towards the next gate,
you're never alone (repeated)
you're already home

________________________________


Rebel the bell tolls catalog rings,
foolish it seems these seams pristine,
precious cargo amongst many-a-things,
in your mind outclassed only a sentry,
brought light to a shadowed gallery,
battling your own wits to redeem,
these codes spall weight in the desert,
indulge you deserve these blessings,
swift it's quickly fleeting these five seasons,
foreign other all nuance repetitive,
some of these items signal healing,
each day in the eyes of another,
mirrors no one can subdue,
none can take these purposeful gatherings,
held within meticulous patterns,
how many dreams have you realized,
bet it's not the first time — encore,
years of attainment and curation,
inside and outside the crane,
surrounded in your resting place,
stories for centuries we parlay

She said —
stay with me through the almanac,
quiet internal the untouchable insular hours,
love-making the foundation of a fortress
(yeah) so expressive how we delegate

Vices sewn into fabric in-infinite ways,
looping the zenith up to space,
{Patient Space}
misplaced, from a clock with no hands,
Saturn frequencies finest in the galaxy,
wise words careful of your keepers yeah,
do your appraisal keeping premium,
after we perish they'll be after our bones

________________________________


Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah,

Another song for you (repeated)
{My Patient Space}
who knew.. that matter could hold,
patient-space,
who knew.. that matter would hold,
patient space,
romance always lives here,
we're souls that they cannot steer,
(oh-oh-I) devote my life,
'tryna make more space,
but you hold too much space,
my patient-space.. my celestial,
taking up too much space,
I redesigned the constellations,
our minds expanding I'm still waiting,
'tryna make some more space,
oh my patient-space,
'tryna make more space,
more space

Whenever it rains I feel this way,
a little somethin' to get me through this day,
in this life we know (oh)
said ah’ there is always something,
there is always something,
said ah’ there is always something
(something)

Give me a little that, no time flat,
it’s gonna be a good thing (said it’s)
set to be a good thing.. our good thing

Serene, and when I’m in need of feelin' free,
I let go land on my feet (yeah)
brushed the dirt off my back, no time flat,
it's gonna be a good thing (said it’s)
set to be a good thing.. our good thing

People believe this sayin' is true,
whatever will be will forever do,
whatever the cost, I'll pay in full,
never wanna lose you (repeated)
(said I) never want to lose you

But sometimes, I gotta get out of here,
I'm in the dark and the light it looks sincere,
brushed the dirt off my back, no time flat,
it’s gonna be a good thing,
it's set to be a good thing,
our good thing

All we do is complain of our pain,
the clouds that follow us won't cease to rain,
but don't look back.. just handle that,
make it into a good thing,
do create a good thing,
your good thing

Soul controller in control of me,
somethin' in me's gotta be,
know that a link in your chain won't do,
priorities are forever true..
we’re supposed to have a good thing,
do we have a good thing

Last record (say last)

To rise again in this new life (repeated)
new forms, new storms.. the bounds of energy adorned (repeated)
reunited (say) reunited,
always go beyond ceilings,
they say do have vision,
don't keep limitations,
do feel liberation (repeated)
I sense the I inside dying (repeated)
free from performance of life (the plight)
free from – performance of life..
free from performance of life (the plight)
even with news that shakes your whole mind (repeated)

To rise again in this new life (repeated)
new forms, new storms.. the bounds of energy adorned (repeated)
to rise again in this new life (repeated)
I sense the I inside dying (repeated)

What's at the core of this life (light)
I hear suffering from every side (night)
– who's at the door –
you've been warned (scorned)
the mere mention of a contrast,
in the mirror do stay steadfast,
..a thread through the world,
(crimes galore) vanishing at the front door,
some praise.. they're calling it a blessing,
phantom pulse,
re-imagined koans,
through this darkzone,
be your own last hope,
covered in conspiracy,
running blind (auctioned bones)
outliving ashes in the tide,
smile worn when you realize,
you're immortal (immortal)
