The Way-Apex Zero

[ti:The Way] [ar:Apex Zero] [al:All and Nothing] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.36]The Way - Apex Zero [00:00.53]Written by：GI (Christopher Buckley)/Apex Zero (Nathan Francois) [00:00.98] [00:24.63]I sit staring at a cold sun [00:26.31] [00:26.84]Forcing it's rays through the stitches of a grey veil [00:29.29] [00:30.14]The sky below is deep but the shades pale [00:32.22] [00:32.77]The wind rushes through my spirit like a ship's sail [00:35.09] [00:35.78]I'm submerged in this city [00:37.54]Connect with the earth under pavement [00:39.54]Searching for nature [00:40.83] [00:41.90]I meditate on road under streetlights [00:44.16]Sit writing and chanting my mantras beneath trees [00:47.34]Forged with the souls of the ancients [00:49.29]I thrive off their wisdom [00:50.66]I drink from the infinite stream of existence [00:53.56]Strive to sync my moves with the flow of the Tao [00:56.53]As it was then is as it is now [00:58.58] [00:59.70]And as it will be then [01:01.09] [01:02.37]Beyond the grasp of women and men [01:04.08] [01:05.25]As it was then is as it is now [01:07.28]And as it will be then [01:08.99]Far beyond the grasp of men [01:10.65]We live our lives in routines that only end when we do [01:13.37]To keep our hearts beating [01:14.58]Sleep wake breathe air eat food [01:16.24]We reproduce [01:17.24]Then what we produce reproduces [01:19.28]Grow up like we did wondering what life and truth is [01:22.15]We look out of the windows of our Souls [01:24.20]Setting chasing goals [01:25.19]As time shifts through decades centuries millennia [01:27.55] [01:28.15]Spread out behind and ahead of ya [01:30.27]Eternally [01:30.92]We focus on our tiny lives searching for what our purpose be [01:33.98]Tryna buld something worthwhile before our time's done [01:36.53]For some life's a war [01:38.08]They wanna say that they've won [01:39.81]For some life's a test [01:41.00]They wanna say that they've passed [01:42.66]For some life's an idea [01:44.01]They wanna say that they've grasped [01:45.61]But can we [01:46.38]With all our weaknesses and limits [01:48.24]Tryna overstand the infinite in lives merely made of minutes [01:51.39]Tryna bring existence to a level we can wrap our head round [01:54.69]Capture the universe in words we can sound [01:57.23]Over simplifying the thing that is the most complex [01:59.82]Imagine life in our image [02:01.46]Compress it into concepts [02:02.82] [02:03.36]Kind of insane [02:04.35]We live and die on this plane so we claim [02:06.60]Everything must be subject to the same [02:08.49] [02:09.27]The universe is in a state of constant change [02:11.61]Yet things that have always been [02:12.87]Might have always been [02:13.56]And may always remain [02:14.47] [02:15.00]Life works in cycles or circles or spheres [02:17.42]We try place limits on the infinite to deal with our fear [02:20.60]Of not knowing [02:21.84]And knowing that we don't know [02:23.37]We make facts from theories and lies [02:25.30]To get on with our lives [02:26.84]Ask for answers we could never start to overstand [02:29.45]Live following some next heads guess [02:31.14]Serving their plans [02:32.75]Making worse the situation that we try to mend [02:35.47]We disregard or bend forces we can't even comprehend [02:38.36]Never mind explain [02:39.58]Or act in their name [02:40.79]Or know what they think or say [02:42.70]Guess it's the human way [02:44.28]Leads some to wage war and some to claim they don't exist [02:47.02] [02:47.69]Claiming all we see is all there is [02:49.55]No higher force [02:50.55]But maybe we're too small to see the scale of it [02:52.99]The sun don't chill or set we turn away from it [02:55.59] [02:56.28]What we call truth now aint all there is [02:58.54]Maybe every theory's right and wrong [03:00.15] [03:00.72]Balanced opposites [03:01.41] [03:01.93]The battle constantly but opposites attract [03:03.87]For every action there an opposite that's equal and exact [03:07.36]Opposites in perfect balance keep the universe in tact [03:10.20]Life death being non-being [03:11.89]Autumn Spring Yang and Ying [03:13.63]Maybe we live forever and for just a passing bit [03:16.47]Maybe we're the whole universe and just a part of it [03:19.51]Maybe we're nothing and everything that's ever been [03:22.19]All and nothing [03:23.09]All that exists without exists within [03:25.26]Maybe when you realise your nothing you can learn to see [03:28.05]That you are everything [03:29.18]Everything that you will ever need [03:30.80]And so [03:31.16] [03:31.92]I sit staring at a cold sun [03:33.64] [03:34.20]Forcing it's rays through the stitches of a grey veil [03:36.63] [03:37.47]The sky below is deep but the shades pale [03:40.05]The wind rushes through my spirit like a ship's sail [03:42.44] [03:43.09]I'm submerged in this city [03:44.80]Connect with the earth under pavements [03:46.95]Searching for nature [03:48.16] [03:49.17]I mediate on road under streetlights [03:51.72]Sit writing and chanting my mantras beneath trees [03:53.98] [03:54.72]Forged with the souls of the ancients [03:56.58]I thrive off their wisdom [03:57.93]I drink from the infinite stream of existence [04:00.41] [04:01.03]Strive to sync my moves with the flow of the Tao [04:03.33] [04:03.92]As it was then is as it is now [04:05.76] [04:07.05]And as it will be then [04:08.34] [04:09.58]Beyond the grasp of women and men [04:11.28] [04:12.67]As it was then is as it is now [04:14.79]And as it will be then [04:16.24]Far beyond the grasp of men [04:17.63] [04:19.28]Far beyond the grasp of men [04:20.72] [04:22.14]Far beyond the grasp of men
