A Diary Entry on the way to Lonepine Studios in Berlin to record new songs.
Written somewhere between Tempelhof and Deutsche Oper.
Below that is a video from the first day of the recording session - which the text frames.
On the train.
Life, pulse, exhilaration, anxiety.
Always to somewhere new, always to somewhere you’ve been before.
You are done with overthinking.
It is Apex Experience only you seek now.
To allow what has gone to be gone.
To risk everything under the mantle of potential creation.
There is no success, there is no failure.
There is just the living.
Throw down your die.
Are you ready to risk it all on the potential of heightened living?
Each day -
Each day, death visits my doorstep.
“Today?”
“Today?” I ask.
Yet surely he declines.
Yes, you are in a dogfight.
Yes, your time is limited.
What were you born to be?
The elixir whispers to you.
Always, always in your sight,
Always just out of reach.
Today.
Today.
Today is the day you give your all.
And if it be your last.
They will know you left it all on the table.
