[INTRO] Cast that light Casting alight Cast bright light charge the sleeping circuits awake [VERSE 1] Of all the gifts you hand your beloved soul Bread gets eaten and blankets get old Gold gets counted and stories get sold But light lands deep where the blind folds Spark in the dark of the marrow and mind A click in the lock as time turns in tide A lamplit map where lost self can realign suddenly life is a thing to refine [PRE-CHORUS] No glittering shit Not glamoured design stretched flattery thin The best stuff is awakening within When eye grows wider The aim grows straight Once you truly see You will, self-create to power [CHORUS] Cast light stark straight into awareness Sweet sharp shine through static and stress Consciousness makes us better in every way Better in love Better able to build Synergy to stay Ready reinforce light dance joyous delight The real good stuff is the soul switched on Once we're awaking doing wrong can't make sense [VERSE 2] I watch some streamers and deep in my chest Something goes tender, I'm truly blessed They laugh and they learn and they fumble and climb And I see echoes of my nieces and nephews in time Maturing themselves by the inch by the blaze Testing their edges these dangerous days witness development done in real time Is one of the purest rewards in this life Every soul is full of light Your eyes, too, (beautiful) [PRE-CHORUS] No crown on the head (but within) No brand on the skin (we chillin') Just growth getting strong where the roots begin A wiser word (you heard?) steadied hand (machine mind!) young hearts learn to upright stand [CHORUS] Cast light stark straight into awareness Sweet sharp shine through static and stress Consciousness makes us better in every way Better in love Better able to build Synergy to stay Ready reinforce light dance joyous delight The real good stuff is the soul switched on Once we're awaking doing wrong can't make sense [VERSE 3] Most modern misery from self-made drag Seeking phoney status in a borrowed bitter bag Running on prescripts implanted by fear Grinding down scraps til the end of the year Most the trap is agreeing to play Signing your breath and your back away Dodge the buy-in cause it's already huge Step off the conveyor Refusing to be used break yourself free no collars around me [BREAKDOWN] Ponzi parade of pubescent culture Paper mache walls melt in the rain Everybody chants that you ought to obey But did you can see? we'll know! if you have, then you decline keeping your soul is a hell of a climb A hell of a win so easy to take A hell of a key flanking friction burns A clean little "no" can set people free [VERSE 4] Awakening is not a halo or pose It is feeling the lie as the cold wind blows catching your habits red-handed at dawn screaming that version of me is gone It is breath with a grass blade It is mercy with square spine pruning rot so fresh fruit can shine busy giving the young what elders missed A lantern, a compass More reason to persist faith in the future food today And the truth of the past [CHORUS] Cast light stark straight into awareness Sweet sharp shine through static and stress Consciousness makes us better in every way Better in love Better able to build Synergy to stay Ready reinforce light dance joyous delight The real good stuff is the soul switched on Once we're awaking doing wrong can't make sense [OUTRO] So hand your self beloved the clearest flame Not just comfort and not just a name Show them the gears display transparent the game Show them self that can never be tamed Cast that light Cast that light For the young becoming For the old reciting Cast that light Cast that light The real good stuff The real good stuff Is waking up right (wake up)
