Lyrics Have You Considered a Balanced Diet? - Cassus

Have You Considered a Balanced Diet?

centres of commerce bloat the land
nitro boosted
swollen sores
burnt out husks are quickly forgotten in
the rush for increasingly elusive virgin soil
who needs a water wheel when you can make a dam?
shops and concrete and cars and
occasional stunted plants in small enclosures
let’s visit the countryside
none of this is needed!
balance is out of fashion
because fashion is out of balance
our bond can never be undone
we are all one
all
part of the Lifestream
one
all
invested and reflected in everything
no refuge in selfhood
existence runs through us
externality is a lie
permeable
we diffuse
our world is a projection
of self-affirming egotism
an illusion we evidently
won’t survive if we sustain
