Name: Alma Matter
Duration: P00H07M36S
Description: Every album needs a power ballad, and even though I didn't think of Alma as one when recording it, it quickly became apparent that it was. This one is all about "introspection." I was going through an odd phase in my life at the time of writing both the lyrics and the music, which I think is pretty apparent by just listening to both things.

lyrics

Floating through both space and time
Lost within my mind
Feeling gravity take its place
On its rational find

Sailing through a sea of stars
Spiritual vessels are what we are
Embedded in this well of seclusion
Idle in timeless restitution

Now I feel the burdens of the past
Weighing me down to earth
No more confined to these reveries
A phantom pilot without a hearth

No more suns to serve as curtains
To a faceless identity
Lying hopeless in
Material supremacy

The soul is formed
From an outward spiral
The spiral towards our infinity
A consciousness
Interweaving
With the universal mentality

Reaching beyond these greater expectations
A physical emancipation
A mind healed by concentration
Hope weaved into full realization

Reaching that state of conscience
That turns me into light/no more will I fight
With my corporeal ties
As I extend my hand to the star kissed sky
And to their laws now do I
