Know How

I don't need slowed down
But at least I know how
I don't need slowed down
But at least I know how
I don't need slowed down
But at least I know how
I don't need to slow down

But when that moment arrives
Will you swear you've found it?
That saying we've been calling getting a grip
At that point in the trip will you shriek Eureka?
Scream death to the ego
Before losing your lunch
If the words pack a punch
You should know it's because
This is no peanut-butter picnic in Jellystone Park
If the darkness inside you finds its way to my heart
It will sing sweet Jesus your love isn't art

I don't need slowed down
But at least I know how
I don't need slowed down
But at least I know how
I don't need slowed down
But at least I know how
I don't need to slow down

When the spins take over
And it's beyond command
And the slow motion hits you
Black static backhanded
With a mouth full of sand
And a jaguar for a jail mate
Fourteen random words that will unseal my caged fate
Hidden in the patterns of the fur
Have I lost myself
Seeing wheels of water
Wheels of fire
Is there something off?
This cell is deep and made of stone
I am at peace, I am at home
Content to let the days forget me
Knowing that I am no one
With talk as cheap as love is blind
Always now I see the sign
Clear as day
You are the Zahir and the Aleph intertwined

I don't need slowed down
But at least I know how
I don't need slowed down
But at least I know how
I don't need slowed down
But at least I know how
I don't need to slow down

I don't need slowed down
I don't need slowed down
I don't need slowed down
I don't need slowed down
I don't need slowed down
I don't need slowed down
I don't need slowed down
I don't need slowed down
