Story behind the song
Stoner doom weight paired with the frantic energy of a live tabla. The lyrics track the moment the ego gives out. Whether you go through the glass is up to you. Lyrics and concept by Ward C Locke. Music produced using Suno AI.
Lyrics
The blind flee the script that burns their name Smoke births a claim no tongue can tame The guide who laughs at golden chains Lotus thorns leak mercury in veins Each breath is a friction, a hidden fire! Name the vision - watch it char! Ganja mind - the fractured star! Portals crack on the sacred pull Dissolve the veil, the cup is full! Step through the glass, become the whole! Reality bends in a malana glass Gaze births the crash where aeons pass Soft roads drown in a cobalt maze Serpent paths incinerate the haze! Shed the skin of the "Why" and "How" Prana drips from the blackened brow... Paint the void with kief and dew The view holds you - you are the view Breakthroughs coil up the molten spine Taste the copper, the eternal sign Courage is the "No" you breathe To the glowing chains the world bequeathed! Temptations curl - the incense lies The temple blooms where the ego dies!
