The Is

Some say
That many people are out here
Doing the right things
For the wrong reasons
Even more doing the wrong things
For reasons that are right
They just want the darkness
To be made into light
The hidden things to be brought into sight
But what if that's all wrong
And resistance is simply a waste
Of time

Could it be that we don't understand
What we are up against
It no longer matters where we place the fence
When the wave washes over
It will only leave the higher ground
But righteousness won't always make us happy
So the fiction that unites us
Eventually lets us down

We could take the new
We could take the old
And alchemize them both into
A story never told
Where feeling is the answer
And lost is the way
Where there's no such thing as weekends
Everything is just today

Survival is so boring
I don't want to hear about the weather
Yet I don't want to get wet
The stars, they won't stop calling me
Yet I still crave fresh fruit
I don't need your permission
To leave this incarnation
Yet I still choose to be here every day
Wondering if there's a way
To love and be loved
And feel like I belong

I used to apologize for everything I did
Now I realize from the time I was a kid
I was saying sorry for being me
But I'm not sorry for waking up here
In my own energy
And neither do you have to justify your desires
You can just say what you want
And ask for what you need

We could take the new
We could take the old
And alchemize them both into
A story never told
Where feeling is the answer
And lost is the way
How there's no such thing as weekends
Everything is just today

Is the light that we walk into
When we close our eyes
Just as white as the ceiling
Of the room in which we die
And I wonder
If it's ever gonna make sense in the bigger picture
Or will we just keep making it up
From our imagination
Maybe that's the point
Maybe that's all that is real
We're just here to manifest
Exactly how we feel
And if that's a thought that scares you
I invite you to inhale and let it out
And close your eyes
It just is
Maybe there's no why
We could find comfort in knowing
There's no pressure
There's no standard
Or pre-written score

You're just yours
You are yours
You are yours
You are yours
You are yours
You are yours
You are yours
You are yours
