    Millions of cars, commute, traverse, so far
    But all points are equal and there's really no difference
    Nobody really goes anywhere anymore
    In the moments I consume and produce
    There is something behind a curtain occurring; breath
    As time passes and its infinite passage suffocates me
    A prehistory reveals itself; my only consolation for living today
    Somebody realizes, and that somebody must be me
    There is nothing but the memory of having once been alive

    Thanks man. It really feels like we're never really fully conscious of our own lives, except when we're living dangerously or passionately. LSD is one of the few things that does the trick for me.

    Life and Death are both unquenchable thirsts which people too often seek to satiate with a static, secure existance. Yet even in their bubbles of comfort they live and die. They simply tune out the experience. Amusingly enough, they will in many cases employ the same substances for this mockery of an attempt at staving off their Divine Humanity that others use to tune in to IT. :)
