ACIMFUSE Lyrics
Dancing In The Shadows leo genereux 26Jul2017
Beyond the shadow dance of puppets
Upon the stage confined
Beyond the trail of tale spinners
That pull the strings in time.
Reaching deep into the now
Where all power resides
That instant that unlocks the gate
That blocks the Love inside.
Beyond the shadow dance I seek the only answer
Beyond the shadow dance reality awakens,
All the shadow dancers from our self deceptions
All the shadow dancers from our misconceptions.
Dancing in the shadows, dancing to the many shades of night
Dancing in the shadows, terrified to turn and face the light.
Dancing in the shadows, dancing to the tunes the egos play
Dancing in the shadows, too afraid to cease our mad charade.
Dancing in the shadows.
What can be seen without the eyes
That see but forms of fear?
What can be heard without the ears
That hear but of despair?
Reaching, I am, beyond the veil
Of the jail that I devised
Clouds of vagueness vaporize
As the sun finally arises.
Beyond the shadow dance boundless Love is waiting
Beyond the shadow dance the light of truth awakens
All the shadow dancers from our choice for sorrow
All the shadow dancers from our sad tomorrows,
Dancing in the shadows, victims of our lonely masquerade
Dancing in the shadows, lost within the labyrinth we made
Dancing in the shadows, dangling from our wishes to be free
Dancing in the shadows, subjects of our bound identities.
Beyond the shadow dance boundless Love is waiting
Beyond the shadow dance the light of truth awakens.
All the shadow dancers from our deadly nightmare
All the shadow dancers from our dance with fear.
Dancing in the shadows.

Grey Green Cloud leo genereux 27may2017
A grey green cloud is all that hides the brightness up above
Unchanged by the gloom that seems to doom the call of Love
The Truth that glows behind the cloud would shine away my fear
But for my sad devotion to the darkness I hold dear.
And the wind blows through the trees
What is it whispering
To the grey green cloud?
Grey green cloud.
A grey green cloud is all that veils the bright intensity
Of the Source of every thought that shares Reality.
My savage world where conflict reigns is but my fantasy
The hiding place where I enchain myself to misery.
And the wind blows through the trees.
What is it whispering
To the grey green cloud?
Grey green cloud.
What would become of littleness without the dark idea
That keeps it hunched under the guilt that colors its despair?
The angry cloud that hangs above the petty prince of pain
Protects him from the glow of Love that would expose his game.
And the wind blows through the trees
What is it whispering
To the grey green cloud?
Grey green cloud.
My littleness fumbles along, terrified to see.
Filled with dread, by ego fed, poised to fight or flee
My true Self glows unclouded by the mad belief that I
Could dwell within a shrouded world beneath a grey green sky.
And the wind blows through the trees
What is it whispering?
"Begone cloud!"
"Begone, begone grey green cloud!"
"Begone cloud!"
"Begone, begone grey green cloud!"
"Begone cloud!"
"Begone, begone grey green cloud!"
"Begone cloud!"
"Begone, begone grey green cloud!"

I Do Not Know leo genereux 21Jan2017
I do not know the thing I am,
And therefore do not know what I am doing.
I do not know where I am,
Or how to look upon the world or myself
I do not know.
I do not know
Who I am
Who I am.
I do not know the thing I am,
And therefore do not know what I am doing.
I do not know where I am,
Or how to look upon the world or myself
I do not know.
I do not know
Who I am
Who I am.
I do not know the thing I am,
And therefore do not know what I am doing.
I do not know where I am,
Or how to look upon the world or myself
I do not know.
I do not know
Who I am
Who I am.
Yet in this learning is salvation born
And what I am will tell me of itself
And I will know.
Yet in this learning is salvation born
And what I am will tell me of itself
And I will know the thing I am
And I will know.

Mazed leo genereux 21Oct16
Illusions come in many forms
Some of them beguiling
They may appear quite innocent
Like the simple act of smiling.
Appearances are nothing more
And so they can deceive
What matters is the thought behind
The smile is concealing.
Conflict keeps egos alive
Born to fight and fend
And when the mood begins to dive
Attacking lifts it up again.
I have hunted happiness
With cunning and aggression
Believing in my separateness
Has gifted me depression.
Pleasure, pain, loss and gain
Ego trips that are all the same
Devised to keep believers insane
Totally engrossed in their crazy games.
Alone, I'm lost
Alone I'm desperately lost
Lost in a maze made of illusions.
Alone, I'm lost
Alone I'm desperately lost
Lost in a maze made illusions.
Mazed.
Being lost in a labyrinth
Was the nightmare that we chose
Hiding away from the truth of Love
That so terrifies our egos
By freeing who we really are
From our crazed identities
We can find a way out of this maze
Together we can see.
Fame or shame, refined or profane
Ego trips that are all the same
Designed to keep our little minds contained
Totally engrossed in our mindless games.
Alone, we're lost
Alone we're desperately lost
Lost in the maze made of illusions.
Alone, we're lost
Alone we're desperately lost
Lost in the maze of illusions. (2X)
Mazed mazed.

Space And Time leo genereux 23Dec2015
However much I try to free
Myself from my uncertainty
A deadly shadow follows me
In the world of space and time.
A howling wind is ripping through
This lonely darkness filled with fear.
Hostility is everywhere
In the world of space and time.
It seems to me we're bound to pay for life
Like we stole it from eternity.
A churning guilt inside cries 'sacrifice!'
Is this strange device how it's meant to be?
Space and time. Is this really how its meant to be?
Space and time.
With hungry heart and tired eyes
Every time traveler vainly tries
To replace the Love that he denied
Here in space and time.
It seems that someone always suffers loss
For some other someone to gain
Each life seems to have a fatal cost
Here in space and time we play a deadly game.
Space and time. everything is changing, nothing stays the same.
Space and time.
But, what if this were all a dream
A mad idea, a mere nightmare?
A tragic play we wrote in haste
Called 'The Universe of Time and Space'?
To know the Love that lies beyond
To feel the peace that never ends
I need only but to choose again
And redefine my space and time.
To free my mind from its uncertainty
I need but gently forgive 'me'
For believing what could never be;
The illusion of space and time.
To free my mind from all its misery
I need but gently forgive 'me'
For believing what could never be;
The illusion of space and time.
In space and time. my only need is to forgive 'me'
Space and time. space and time (4X)

Awakening leo genereux 23Nov2015
Who I am seemed to stray
Wandering off apart from Love.
By shutting out the light of day
The night of fear surrounded me.
And it seems I'm here within
An evil world where I believe
That casting blame will save me from
The guilt of being who I am.
The bird is sad with broken wing
When finally healed it starts to fly and sing
A joyous song nearly forgotten.
Gently waking me.
Awakening.
What I am is waking from
The dream of hell where I believed
That casting judgment will save me from
The guilt of being who I am.
But we all are beyond our nightmare,
Untouchable by guilt and fear
The dream of sin could not undo
Our innocence forever true.
The bird is sad with broken wing
Now finally healed it starts to fly and sing
A joyous song to a new dawn
Gently waking me.
Awakening
Awakening.

Journey To Paradise leo genereux 02Oct2015
I chose to have a mad idea
And keep it as my friend
By believing what could never be
My crazy world began
So dazzling was this bad idea
I had to play its game
Of sin and guilt and constant fear
Where others are to blame
Others blamed.
I look upon this world of form
To satisfy my needs
The more I strive to please myself
The less I feel appeased
Because I chose a bad idea
And kept it as my friend
The truth of love has disappeared
Until I choose again.
Choose again.
All I see through ego's eyes
Is guilt externalized
The drug of dread and deadly pride
An overdose of lies.
Overdose, overdose, overdose of lies
Overdose, overdose, overdose of lies.
The only need I truly have's
Admitting I've been wrong
My screaming dreams and raucous raves
Did not faze Heaven's song
With the Holy Spirit as my guide
I bridge across the stream
Forgiveness falls on all I see
My life's a happy dream
Happy dream.
Now I see through Spirit's eyes
The truth my 'friend' denied
The gentle peace and holiness
The touch of paradise
Paradise, paradise, touch of paradise
Paradise, paradise, the touch of paradise
What I see through Spirit's eyes
Forgives the ego's lies
With my brother by my side
Journey to paradise
Paradise, paradise, journey to paradise
Paradise, paradise, journey to paradise
Paradise, paradise, journey to paradise
Paradise, paradise, journey to paradise.

Valueless leo genereux 25Aug17
The unique way I play the game of life; individuality
This special, little, separate guy that seems to be in a body
The fun of scoring my little goals, whether they're lofty or lewd
Comes from thinking I know for sure what's worth being pursued.
Anger and fear, heartbreak and tears
Conditional happiness
Everything happening, happy or sad
All specialness is valueless
Valueless, valueless
Need not despair for this too will pass into its nothingness
Valueless, valueless
Cling not to that which changes and fades for it truly is valueless.
Of the laws of choosing this little self has no say
Selecting among the valueless Is merely mindless play
Only one option for choosing, and this choice I don't make alone;
Led by the voice that keeps me losing, or The Voice that guides me home.
Anger and fear, heartbreak and tears
Conditional happiness
Everything happening, happy or sad
If not forever is valueless.
Valueless, valueless
Need not despair for this too will pass into its nothingness
Valueless, valueless
Cling not to that which changes and fades for it truly is valueless.
A choice between this or that idol is not really choice at all
For it maintains the insane notion Oneness is opposable
But when I placed my faith in idols, idols seemed valuable to me
In treasuring the valueless, I suffer in my dark dream.
The hidden guilt in my restless dream, tormenting me now can cease
I see my mistake, and choose not to wait any longer for Love's feast
The Valuable is quietly waiting to surround me with unending bliss
I need but to choose unchangingly not to value the valueless.
Valueless, Valueless,
All of the pain, the fear and the shame that I chose was valueless.
Valueless, Valueless,
All of the arrogant games I played were nothing but valueless.

A Warring Fool leo genereux 05mar2016
The mad warrior
Makes combat with the darkness
Until, exhausted, he collapses
Just before the dawn.
Weary from trying to kill the night,
He sleeps tight as the day shines
Only rising after the dying light,
To bravely fight.
To make war with his shadow
Cast by a guilty moon
Lost within the futile fury
Of a warring fool
Of a warring fool.
Brave warrior I believe I am
Makes combat with the darkness
Until, exhausted, I collapse
Just before the dawn.
Weary from trying to kill the night
I sleep tight as the day shines
Only rising after the dying light,
Again to fight.
To make war with my shadow
Cast by a guilty moon.
Lost within the futile fury
Of a warring fool
I am the warring fool.
Mad warrior that I am
Makes combat with a sword
Forged from the fear, and hatred
Born of my need for war.
Born of my need for war
Within a nightmare dark and cruel
Peace was mine, I wanted more
I am a warring fool
I make war with my shadow
Cast by a guilty moon.
Lost within the futile fury
Of a warring fool.
I am the warring fool.
I am the warring fool.
The mad warriors we are
Make combat with the darkness
Until exhausted we collapse
just before the dawn.
Weary from trying to kill the night
We sleep tight as the day shines
Only rising after the dying light
To bravely fight.
To make war with our shadows
Cast by a guilty moon
Lost within the futile fury
Of a warring fool
We are the warring fools.

All I Need leo genereux 12Sept2016
Pillow for my head
Soothing comfort of my cozy bed. cozy bed
Sunshine when I'm chilled
Healing me whenever I am feeling ill. making me well.
Water when I'm dry
Precious teardrops when I feel the need to cry. need to cry
Voice that whispers, "All is right"
Waking me ever so gently from the night. The morning light.
Beyond belief there's one thing I know
To noone else I need to go.
You are all I need.
The darkness that surrounded me
The sadness that used to be my home, is finally going
By singing that ancient song
You taught me before the veil was drawn.
You are all I need.
You are all I need
You are all I need.
Singer of the song
You're the shelter in the raging storm. safe and warm
By singing differently,
My dreary tune transforms into a symphony, when You sing with me.
Reminding to be kind
When anger at myself begins to burn my mind. You say, "Be kind'.
Peaceful feelings grow
Because of You all my self-loathing disappears. quickly goes.
Beyond belief there's one thing I know
To noone else I need to go.
You are all I need.
The darkness that surrounded me
The sadness that used to be my home, is finally going
By singing that ancient song
You taught me before the veil was drawn.
You are all I need.
You are all I need
You are all I need.
Noone is to blame.
Sin and guilt were but my childish games. my little god game.
All is still the same
Not a single note was missed in Heaven's song. nothing's changed.
You are the me that I forgot to be
When I chose to use my mind absentmindedly, in mad fantasies.
But mistakes have been undone
Hallucinations do not replace reality. With You, I am one.
Beyond belief there's one thing I know
To noone else I need to go.
You are all I need.
The darkness that surrounded me
The sadness that used to be my home, is finally gone
By singing that ancient song
You taught me before the veil was drawn.
You are all I need.
You are all I need
You are all I need.

Nature Roaring At the Wind leo genereux 04Mar2017
The memory of God will come
Only to the quiet mind
A mind at war against itself
Remembers not Love's gentleness.
Conflict is born of mad ideas;
Hostile world of guns and grief
Illusions battle with themselves
Driven by insane beliefs.
La la la.....
Is the Son of God at war with his Creator?
At war with his Creator?
Is nature roaring at the wind in anger
Proclaiming it is part of itself no more?
Fragments of a fearful dream
Dreaming up their enemies
Born of nothing they cannot
Through battle win reality.
Homeless are the separate ones
Exiled by their own desire
Mindless bodies clash and cling
How desperately do they aspire.
La la la.....
Is the Son of God at war with his Creator?
At war with his Creator?
Is nature roaring at the wind in anger
Proclaiming it is part of itself no more?
Let forgiveness sweep away
The notion we could ever stray
Into a world where terror reigns;
Dark fantasies and mindless games.
Leave the war within behind
Let the peace beyond prevail
Awaken to your gentle Mind
That speaks of Love that never fails.
La la la.....
Is the Son of God at war with his Creator?
At war with his Creator?
Is nature roaring at the wind in anger
Proclaiming it is part of itself no more?
The memory of God will come
Only to the quiet mind
A mind at war against itself
Remembers not Love's gentleness.
La la la.....
Is the Son of God at war with his Creator?
At war with his Creator?
Is nature roaring at the wind in anger
Proclaiming it is part of itself no more?
