Layers

Stephen Knox 1970 (Bygland)



The truth forever hidden, cemented with lies.

Powerful unions, plotting and planning our demise.

We've awakened to the fact, that this world is not quite right.

And because of this we've found,that love is our only might.

I feel every day, earth's frequency rise.

I now connect remotely, and can look right through their eyes.

But the further that I travel, up perception’s sight.

The me that is I, has no use for a fight.
