Duality Part I - May I Have This Dance?
Here I SIT, all alone
In time, now on my own
And though I am told we all are One
Here I sit all alone.
Away from this matter and time
Did I choose to come down here
And if I was full and complete
Would I choose to come down here, mmm
So I make my CLIMB
Slings and arrows and grime
Working on my spirit chops
In my stay, here in time….here in time.
Bridge:
And here we go again
How many times around again
Why cant….Why aren’t we in on this game
We muddle through the fear, half lame
So I RIDE on my own
Riding time on my own
Again I am told we are all One
And one day we all come Home….all come Home!

A note from Andrew Cavaseno:
This is a 5 part "story" I wrote, created and recorded from May-August. It's a journey of self discovery and very personal to me. A lot of emotion is conveyed by the music and images throughout. I have always been feeling and probably overthinking and over self analyzing the whole duality concept since my childhood- Yin Yang, Black-White, Mundane-Spiritual, Positive-Negative, Good-Bad, Love-lust, Dreams-Reality, Heaven-Hell, purpose-Existence etc. It goes on and on and this has helped me at least in some way-process these thoughts. I hope you enjoy and find a part of yourselves as well.

Lyrics below:
The Last Oppressor
Have you met, the oppressor
Now Have you seen, his face
Beware, The Last Oppressor
Cause He seems, to be, any place
When we were just kids
Every thing we did
Good people taught us wrong from right
We looked out at the world
Heard the tales of old
The monsters we would have to fight
Out there in this big world
Beware of what has unfurled
Don’t let them get a stronghold
To win this, you'll have to be bold, so just be bold
Now where were you in time
Where will you be born
What can we learn in time
Will we know this? When we're home…
What we do to ourselves,
We would spare someone else
