​
To give you an idea of the lyrical content, it all begins with a regal invocation and proclamation that starts the album off in "Internity":
Give us language to express
the timing of the endlessness
Give us language to impress
our forms upon the emptiness
As interns of eternity
in turn we shall eternal be
​
In Track 2, "Plant Teacher", a disciple attains awareness of his own mortality through an encounter with a fly, while sitting at his teacher's lotus feet. Distracted by scents of humor and the spectacle of the spiritual, he denounces his guru and begins his own journey.
​
Another example is track 3, "Buried in the Sand"--a manic parable about overcoming the maniacal ego, our inner pharaoh, and opening up to our current channels to familiarize ourselves with their unique language and the message we impart to-ourselves-through-ourselves.
