lyrics

I love you like the moon
loves its reflection

casually rippling on the sea

Like silent films without projectors
Light and love and sound enmeshed in me

If I only exist this very moment
next moment’s a completely different me


If you see me acting funny splitting
May I cause you no harm, may I cause you no harm

When my mind believes this jail is real
May you cause me no harm, cause me no harm


When mind fills out to loving awareness—is all
When pain cuts into loving awareness—stay strong

Breathe in,
breathe out,
remember.


I fell in love and every time
I grasped onto you the idea of
you
I fell
into the Oneness
in love

Words fall from my life like melted honey
Love falls from my mouth when I leave things be


When mind fills out to loving awareness — is all
When pain cuts into loving awareness — stay strong


Breathe in,
breathe out,
remember.


Finally the sun shines through my window
Who is it that’s seeing me seeing?
Loving and seeing’s all I ever wanted
wanting trapped me into this being

Love is perpendicular to experience
watching as its thrilling into being

Bloody suffering’s what I never asked for
Oh let us love within the pain of seeing

Breathe in,
breathe out,
remember.
