about

About STONES:
In guilt you are blind, you cannot see yourself. It’s the only thing you can perceive. Judging about your own guilt becomes impossible. Guilt is like gravity. Gravity. A heavy force.

lyrics

There is something inside,
I cannot define.
It’s another dimension
without linear time.
It’s unpleasant, it’s confusing.
It scares me, ‘cause I’m loosing
my abilities.
So, I’m choosing
the option to hide.

The earth is a neural system.
The mankind’s legacy left its marks everywhere.
When I’m connected I get all the wisdom,
and I feel all the scare.

The only thing I need to face
is a kinder, a healthier space.
I need to let go
before it’s too late.
I need a kinder, a healthier space.

These stones are too heavy
for You to carry…
All these stones are too heavy
for me to carry.
