Zen (Conscious Sessions)

I have known since I was young that I could separate myself
Trace along a synapse in my brain and take on someone else
Peek into a life that I have never known and tell their tales
Reach in my pockets
With nothing but consciousness

I tend to sit upon my hands until my heart achieves a state of Zen
Scribble out my ego, pick up empathy and find a pen, yeah
Manifesting every word they thought of but they never said, oh
Losing my consciousness
In every pocket that I never had

I hope the sacrifice is worth it
Leave my heart inside another person
Always knew that I would find my purpose
Living as a servant
Taking on the roles they can't let go
I hope the sacrifice is worth it
Leave my heart inside another person
Always knew that I would find my purpose
Living in the service of another soul

I decipher voices in my head that never show their face
Translate all I can before they seem to go their separate ways
Share it with the world and maybe back to where and which it came
Feel like a prophet
With cursory cognisance
Because I am

Fumbling with sand
Each grain just one of my plans
I don't know how to be more than I am
But I hope if I stay right here I'll understand

I hope the sacrifice is worth it
Leave my heart inside another person
Always knew that I would find my purpose
Living as a servant
Taking on the roles they can't let go
I hope the sacrifice is worth it
Leave my heart inside another person
Always knew that I would find my purpose
Living in the service of another soul

If you knock once or twice
I'll invite you to share my design
I'll let you visit my thoughts
If you stay in your spot
And you never try crossing that line

If I lend you my hand
Would you lend me some time with your mind
I'll write down all that you want
As I learn quite a lot
When I live through these lives that aren't mine

I hope the sacrifice is worth it
Leave my heart inside another person
Knew I'd always find my purpose
As a servant
Taking on the roles they can't let go

I hope the sacrifice is worth it
Leave my heart inside another person
Always knew that I would find my purpose
Living as a servant
Taking on the roles they can't let go
I hope the sacrifice is worth it
Leave my heart inside another person
Always knew that I would find my purpose
Living in the service of another soul

I decipher voices in my head that never show their face
