Mythical Human Vessel is a trilogy of records written and performed by the songwriter and guitarist Paul Masvidal.
Each song on MHV uses 'Isochronic Tones' designed by Dr. Stephane Pigeon, creator of the Brian Eno-celebrated website MyNoise. The tones are a groundbreaking type of sound therapy for increasing serotonin, alleviating depression and stress, improving focus, and aiding in restful sleep. \"Mythical Human Vessel\" is intended as “an inherently relaxing listening experience, and adding the tones multiplied the benefits,” Masvidal says.

Lyrics:
NO OTHER WORDS
Say now
Murmur the cry of your faith now
Let it all out and be free
Stay meek
Scream now
Befriend the scars that complain
The monsters are inside the room
Break through
We turn our heads away
But the mirror never hides
Umbrella stop this rain from drowning us
But the moment that you're brave
Is the moment you can die
I have no other words
Other than goodbye
Think now
Open your arms and pray
Trouble may make a new sound
Come down
We plan the big escape
But the mirror never lies
Umbrella stop this rain from drowning us
But the moment that you're brave
Is the moment you can die
I have no other words, other than goodbye
We turn our heads away
But the mirror never lies
Our bodies in the desert
Brains in the sky
I'll scream another scream
And I'll cry another cry
I have no other words
I have no other lines
I have no other words
No other words, other than goodbye
——
INTO THE WAR
Teach me not to judge you
Please find the patience in me
The patience in you
Teach me not to hurt you
Forgive the anger in me
The anger in you
Into the war with no armor
Into the fields of no colors
No one hears me now
And I don’t hear you now
I may say I love you, don’t hide
It took too many years for these words to arrive
And I may say I’ve lost you, don’t sigh
It took too many fears for this heart to realize
Into the war with no armor
Into the fields of no colors
No one hears me now
And I don’t hear you now
And I’ll stare into the flame
I’ll be frightened but not afraid
Death burns and burns my grudging faith for your love
Tracing the footsteps that can’t be found
Spinning the wheels that never touch the ground
No one hears me now
And I don’t hear you now
——
PARASITE
Parasite, underneath the heart that beats us alive
Sacrifice, martyrdom the milk that momma can buy
In your mind you don't feel used
It's home, all home to you
Pantomime, hand in hand we drown
To merge with the tides
Parasite, buried in me
You say you're only inches from
The grand conveyer belt
In your mind it's all been sung
The story wrote itself
We're dead, we're dead, we're dead
You say you're only inches from
The grand conveyer belt
But in our mind it's all been sung
The story wrote itself
We're dead, we're dead, we're dead
——
NEBULA
I want to cry inside a floating tear
And I'll ascend into a lovely atmosphere
I'll become a planet on my own
Peacefully orbiting the earth
Oh dear world
You're weighing me down
And my little mind
Keeps on tearing me apart
I want to hide inside the milky way
And I'll relieve my worries in a nebula's birthplace
I'll become a universe of light
Illuminating hues of opal skies
Oh dear world
You're breaking me down
And my little mind
Keeps on tearing me apart
And my little mind
Keeps on telling me
It's fine
——
LETTER TO LOVE
Hey, I have no companion but love
I'm sorry the lines are blurred
My love is your love
But I don't know how to save love
When I know it's right I make it wrong
Oh love
But you heal me love
When you feed me love
Love, love
Hey, I have no obstacles but love
I'm sorry I lost control
Of love, my love
But you heal me love
When you feed me love
Love, love
You heal me love
My love
Hey I don't know how to fake love
Although I could be wrong I stay in love
With love
