lyrics

Doing the work stilling the mind see what arises see what I find
see the demise of a previous life that seeded its vibe in a heedless environment
it's deep intertwined I'm feeling the demons they creep in my spine
they keep me enticed by filling my mind with beautiful women and screens with lights

but I..... continue to breathe in the silence
If I release with deep intention tensions find no abiding
but with no tightness then what in this life defines me
and if that line can't be refined then maybe this me is a lie

Doing the work stilling the mind see what arises
doing the work stilling the mind see what arises
doing the work stilling the mind see what arises
doing the work stilling the mind....

I see Einstein and he redefined all space and time by visualising
riding on a light beam, and finding a way to describe it
that invited a paradigm shift, and I see it aligns with a similar vibe
from the great insight from breathing and smiling
and deeply abiding with states that arise

49 days Gautama remained till he came to the realisation
pain is created by craving, all states they change but we still chase stasis
crazy, will it ever abate and they say if I just stay patient
By doing the work and stilling the mind cessation leads to awakening

Doing the work stilling the mind see what arises
doing the work stilling the mind see what arises
doing the work stilling the mind see what arises
doing the work stilling the mind....

Peace permeates in a deepening state but my peeps in pain and I need to save them
caught everyday in a mad rat race and it needs to change and the earth is breaking
Tarchin, I ask ya, can we part from this path of disaster
Maybe you can, maybe you can't, maybe there ain't no answer

Maybe the question is vaster, the task is to just keep asking
If answers arise in the stillness of mind, that's the start of another inquiry
How's the need for change arising? And how does it intertwine?
Keep contemplating, see what you find and remember to meet it with kindness
right


Doing the work stilling the mind see what arises
doing the work stilling the mind see what arises
doing the work stilling the mind see what arises
doing the work stilling the mind....

I see the mind is agitated these sensations lead to states of
fragmentation breaking concentration making concepts subject object
based on baseless context taking me on daydreams till I've lost the plot
I'm not awakening I just feel more agitated

wait
I've seen that it all takes shape, there's a way to break this cycle
shine a light invite more mindfulness till bliss makes the mind go quiet
silence
even just for a minute till volitions are diminished but they seem to never finish
i just see them as a ripple or I catch them once they've risen
and it's pulled me to division yet again

That's fine with me, could fight for weeks, now I just smile and breathe
And if I don't identify me with fleeting dreams then I can see release
and I feel finally free
And I can be.... and I can breathe

And it's damn fantastic, I am the planet, I am the atoms
I am the act of big bang expanding
I can not add or subtract from that
ain't crap that's lacking, I'm back

*bong*
what's that saying time is up
it's been a whole month but I'm just getting started
I ain't ready to depart yet please
don't send me to the city when I've just begun
