lyrics

It always matters who you are and how you keep yourself.
No matter what you keep inside, and never show anyone else.
Your right to be depends on doing right by freedom –
that’s responsibility.

We’re each an island of mind cut off from other ones.
We only sense the distance, measured across vast oceans,
of those who may not look like us
and those we may or may not choose to trust.

And when I look out from my eyes,
am I susceptible to the lies they offer me?
Do I trust just what I see and hear and feel?
Oh, what is real?
Can I tell that this is no controlling spell meaning to deceive?
I’m actually relieved to find you reeling from the same deal,
the same seeming reality

It’s hard to navigate this plane, this world of loss and gain.
The more intelligent we are, the more acute the pain.
This burden makes some people rude,
who lack the moral fortitude.

Apathy is both the lock and key
that keeps each prisoner bound.
What sets us free is empathy -
it roots us to the ground.
Engage, connect, stay to the course,
and help the ones who show remorse.

Zenji had to leave the band, was replaced, but it all splintered after that due to bad timing. Osborn picked it up again as a personal recording project in 2016. ... more
