lyrics

I just need to breathe
I'm working on me
the best thing I can be is the best version of me
Got that Dharma running through my arteries
till it's a part of me
and I can finally be
Free

Times are tricky I know that you are struggling
stuck in the city and you feel that it is crumbling
you're stumbling, caught up in a cycle of consumption
and the energy to really do it justice is just plummeting

but there is something you can feel it in the subtleties
the simple passing of the light between the leaves
and this ignites a deep inquiry in your mind you see
there's something to discover that is still a mystery

what could it be? the daily dramas feeling arbitrary
in search of answers for that something never seen
and now it's started well you can't deny the heart you see
you're parting from your past as you embark upon the dream

The fires ignited, you're ready to rise, ready to strive feel the adrenaline filling your mind
bounce off the ceiling many a time
until you realise to free your mind you gotta just find some ease
so you recline in a place that is quiet, clear your mind and breathe

Breathe
I'm working on me
the best thing I can be is the best version of me
Got that Dharma running through my arteries
till it's a part of me
and I can finally be
Free


You drop into your body when you're breathing
it seems to be a piece of meat you never quite believed in
but now you see the genius community the unity
the pieces and the in-betweens it leaves you feeling speechless

you keep on breathing and the peace it takes you deeper
creating space between sensations in your ether
can they arise with you just smiling as they're passing by
simply reside the preference mind is feeling nullified

but can you feel a strange container casting shades on every framework
that's arising all pervading contemplations
bring some patience to this jading of the mental states
till they alleviate and leave you with the straight substrate

well you're a pro now, but can you drop the pronouns
a state completely boundless, separation is unfounded
without a doubt this is profound there ain't no clouds
just resounding love abound inside a mind that is unshrouded




pretty sweet
and all you really had to do was sit around and breathe
and now you're free to be whatever you wanna be
cause you've expounded suffering with astounding clarity

and it's fantastic, no need for action
cause every breath you take just radiates compassion
and with that fact you're looking back on interactions
that are happening in the masses in a flash you're filled with passion

Cause in their actions you see that they are struggling
stuck in the city and they feel that it is crumbling
they're stumbling, caught up in that cycle of consumption
and the energy for them to do it justice is just plummeting

But there is something and you know that it is graspable
and coming deep from you heart this is the task for you
so with a laugh and your heart upon your sleeve
this Bodhisattva just asks for them to breathe
