Sit very still and the whole world is turning.Reverberations bounce around us
If there are ends they are burning.
How far can you remove yourself?
Can you see what I see?
Mind and soul elude your body
And with me here you'll be
How do you escape what isn't holding you down
How do you not listen to that which doesn't make a sound
If I can't feel it happening, how will I know when to let go.
Please tell it to me, slow
Or I'll miss it, again
Sometimes my mind leaves my head
I abandon it all--hope, love, joy, sorrow, fear, and dread
The simplistic, fragile, beauty in life
is how we all love the strife.
It obviously feeds us or we wouldn't invent a Jesus
That had to save us from our sins
We would have just saved ourselves.
How do you escape what isn't holding you down
How do you not listen to that which doesn't make a sound
If I can't feel it happening, how will I know when to let go.
Please tell it to me, slow
Or I'll miss it, again
Please tell it to me, one more time
if you can't speak it just give me a sign
Do you ever wonder if theres really music in the spheres?
Is everything so meant to be,
does magic come from harmony?
Are we all a line of ants all instep, all in tune
Until someone gets squashed and the whole colony is in ruin.
Is every detail so planned out, is it all meant to be just so
Why work so hard, if we never had any control.
Give me my free will, without it whats the point?
How do you escape what isn't holding you down
How do you not listen to that which doesn't make a sound
If I can't feel it happening, how will I know when to let go.
Please tell it to me, slow
Or I'll miss it, again
Please tell it to me, one more time
if you can't speak it just give me a sign
