Long ago, to and fro I got about an hour or so of enlightenment And it chilled me to the bone I could see apparently All the falsehoods and the lies I got hip to the guise Long ago, to and fro I got about an hour or so of enlightenment And it thrilled me to the bone I could see apparently All the falsehoods and the lies I got hip to the guise Tied to the Madness Tree Tied to the Madness Tree Tied to the Madness Tree Wake up! Time to open your eyes Take off, take off your disguise! Find the truth, find it in yourself Know you inner wealth I planted this tree I watered this tree I tended this tree And then I tied this tree to me And I can set myself free

Bye Bye Butterfly Wings stretch to the sky (green & blue) Even though we die Now we fly When you met my mind Trouble you did find Still you came to soar By my side (on the wind) When you touched my heart Beating it did start (once again) After for so long It did not When you moved my soul I felt so small then Trying hard to hold A butterfly

It's a beautiful place to be Ethereal Funkateria You can let your mind be free Ethereal Funkateria It's impossible to see Ethereal Funkateria You can let your soul run free Ethereal Funkateria

Excuses like bamboo Don’t think we can’t see through You can’t blame your life on bamboo Any more than bamboo can blame you It’s true

Your life affects much more than you You walk through life and hearts you tear into The joy and proof of your ways Keep you aloof, unattached Keys to heart strings around your demise is found Your life affects much more than you Know yourself, to yourself be true Don’t pass your curse down to your heirs So your burdens they won’t have to bear Wake Up Time to open your eyes Wake Up Take off your disguise Wake Up Find the truth Wake Up Find it in yourself Know your inner wealth
