There's A Much Larger World in The Body

​There's a much larger world in the body
this is the secret that the ancient sages has told you.
Listening to the light pass through your body and play the piano in your bones，
noticed an old man,who is 30000 years old ,sitting in a palace on the top of the mountains.
 
There is an island in the depths of the ocean,
the goddess was so brilliant before the world had been born.
Her eyes will make you to forget the sadness,
for an instant, take you through those free and unfettered days outside.

The World is just A Lie

​The world is just a lie,
truth is on the other side of the world.
We can neither see the light of time
nor know that everything is a shadow on the running water.
There is another me on another planet,
you have never been born or died.
When the maze becomes transparent, the door of time-space opens,
you will shake hands and smile with the giant in the heavens.
The words are both music and the epic of the soul,
Telling you that the palaces of outer space are incomparably lofty,
as if they are as endless as the mountains of gold.
