Symbiosis (from Ancient Greek σύν "together" and βίωσις "living") is close and often long-term interaction between different biological species. In 1877, Bennett used the word symbiosis (which previously had been used of people living together in community) to describe the mutualistic relationship in lichens. In 1879, by the German mycologist Heinrich Anton de Bary, defined it as "the living together of unlike organisms."
The definition of symbiosis is controversial among scientists. Some believe symbiosis should only refer to persistent mutualisms, while others believe it should apply to any types of persistent biological interactions (i.e. mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic).
Some symbiotic relationships are obligate, meaning that both symbionts entirely depend on each other for survival. For example, many lichens consist of fungal and photosynthetic symbionts that cannot live on their own. Others are facultative, meaning that they can, but do not have to live with the other organism.
I wanna be your partner
I wanna be your friend
You never let me in to
Your own little world
You wanna be so secret
It's only for the show
Tear down your silly barriers
And let me know
How much more should I try
How much more will it take
How much more punishment
Can I tolerate
In your world lives a little girl
Who is longing for a life
For a life
I wanna kill your character
I want the real you
Fuck that fucking roleplay
And fuck your medicine
Schizophrenic alter egos
You hide behind your diagnosis
You think you have the sole right
To depression and despair
How much more should I try
How much more will it take
How much more punishment
Can I tolerate
If you only let her out
In your world lives a little girl
Who is longing for a life
If you only let her out
A distant lonely night
I lie awake
I don't know where I am
Just know I'm safe
All that I love at home
So far away
Tomorrow brings new light
Another day
You hold me up in times of weakness
And in return I set you free
My heart I give to all of you
Now part of you belongs to me
And after all these years
This dream is real
I never lost my will
It's strength I feel
Don't ever lose desire
Or you will fade
I stand behind myself
And all I've made
You hold me up in times of weakness
And in return I set you free
My heart I give to all of you
Now part of you belongs to me
Fly on!
Fly on!
Fly on!
Now part of you belongs to me!
And through your eyes I look at you
I'm feeling what's inside of you
And every night you give me strength
it's two a.m.the whiskey screams
it wants escape
not now
the world around me sleeps
I stir
I am the night
I breathe
I am the night
insistent fervor
keeps my head on straight
contrast the daylight ahead
the balance remains
symbiosis of me
I live
to learn
and see
there's more that I can know
I dream
to be
awake
I lose the time
inside
outside
on every path I take
I am
the night
We are the order of grinding silence
Leaving the peace as the music subsides
Again impacting with brutal sonics
He will expel the evil of darkness
[CHORUS]
Essence of silence
Monks of the high Lord
Essence of noise
Monks of the high Lord
Feeling cold from a menacing absence
I'm surrounded by a constant noise
I remember my true religion
I adjourn to your peace in the mist
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
I see, the beauty and beast
I feel, your power and beat
I know there is a way
Show me, grinding silence
So many people
Caught in a world of noise
Open your mind and see the sound of the quiet
Live in the grinding silence
A life of sheer extremes
Noise and quiet, life, Lord peace
What do you worship
Don't worship gods of wood and steel
[BRIDGE]
Finding solace in the light of your word
Breeding life in the heast of silence
Humming a tune of orchestral essence
Meeting with you in the still of creation
When pastures are liberated from the graze of locusts,
golden horizons will reveal vestiges of decaying
monuments. In oceans of ephemerality we seek to become
imperishable. In streams of eternity our immortality is
fleeting. When this life fades I'll be at rest, for I'll
have detached myself from my worthless legacies. I have
cherished my possessions and I have forsaken simplicity:
materialization of the spiritual and spiritualization of
the material. I hope they sear the pillars and great
walls of my Alexandria. We waste our days assembling vast
shrines upon disbanding sands. Our greatest
accomplishments consist of having conquered empires of
stone. When this life fades I'll be at rest. "All the
glory in the world can be gathered in a grain of corn."
Within the illusion of reality and the reality of an
illusion, constellations remain invisible but not
nonexistent. Let's build a sphinx of meaning that never
weathers.
Bipatrisan joining
Synergy essential
For the purpose of symbiosis
When opposites merge
Mutual benefits emerge
If symbiosis is threatened
Either may loose control
The grafting of the branches
Through the vows of marriage
Interdependance relies
On the covenant of trust
CHORUS
Synapse a wondrous gift of God's creation
Synchronous biogenisis the seed of expression
Synapse a wondrous gift of God's creation
Synchronous biogenisis the seed of expression
Under a symposium
Syllogistic settlements
Banish the tear away
Systole rising
Slow descent towards dependency
So intent to fulfill the prophecy
Maternal recession
Into infancy
Undividable grip
Irreversible lock
Alone I die
Symbiosis
Your warm embraces - release me
Devide me not - erase me
Ours are sister souls - for we are one
I am the seed within - devour me
Make one move
Just one step
And I 'm torn apart
I 'm torn apart
Slow descent towards dependency
So intent to fulfill the prophecy
Maternal recession
Into infancy
Undividable grip
Irreversible lock
Alone I die
Eternally connected to the energies of existence*
Subconscious link of consciousness
The golden light that makes us all one soul
One thought
One beginning
One center of focus
Pasts, present, futures
Existing in the moment
Sequences of existence inner-twine
Feel my light touch thee
The dreams of life awaken inside
Transcend the lies
Live for your dream
Open your mind and see
One soul, one thought, one mind
Evolution of understanding
Attain the wisdoms
Knowledge eternal
I reach out and touch your mind
I reveal the secrets before your eyes
Look into my eyes and you see yourself
I look into you and I see god
We hold the keys to the wisdoms
To the secrets and mysteries within
Witness the light of the new worlds
Evolution of consciousness
Converging the ancient forces
Behold the thought universal
My thoughts left alone are a dangerous thing
They are hard to confront with dignity
Every conclusion has offered no change
No peace of mind, peace of mind
I've felt outcast and it's kept me distant
It's kept me resistant to the only grace worth giving
into
I act on anger and think with my fist
To keep me from feeling like I've lost control
But I've slipped too far to pull my weight
Out of the grave I made my home
I used to look for a hiding spot
This isn't what I had in mind
There must be more outside of
The skin that holds my bones in place
And then I met a man
Dressed in different faces
I recognized him by the hope in the way that he spoke
to me
His words suggested purpose
That I started to see in my own reflection
Could it be there is truth in me?
Could it be there is truth in me?
My lungs are coming alive
My lungs are coming alive
Breathing life into the ghost I used to be
I can't remain quiet
We're designed for a purpose
Let where I've been give you peace
Hope is here
And then I met a man
Dressed in different faces
I recognized him by the hope in the way that he spoke
to me
Hope is here
There must be more outside of
The skin that holds my bones in place.
