Meditation

Lyrics

Hush, now Seal you lips No more quivering fingertips Spent spirits, erasing tension Give me your soft attention We take a slow pace within this space The waters are calm, ripe for reflection Don't quench the quiet with worry Self-pity will tow you under Stand what we have is an ebb and flow Treasure what comes, be rich when it goes Pain has its uses past the moan When you recognize the shoulder you cry on Is your own I know, at times, it gets too lonely Cuts so big the night starts to squeeze No fair (No fair) My words don't mean shit In your despair Slow your blood It's too far ahead to appreciate the pain of an ego unfed No need to wait for the sun on time Light the candles, animate shadows, echoing blues in the bowels of their flames Flirting with darkness, dancing with ghosts Romancing memories in mental frames Here's your treasure, locked in yesterday Here's your treasure, locked in time Here's your treasure, locked in yesterday You'll be a richer man when you give it away When every thought is all at once The heartbeat falls behind the mind Too vast, too loud To listen to the cogs when they start to grind Sometimes, we all forget how to breathe (Sometimes, we all forget how to breathe) Sometimes, we actually have to ask ourselves: How (how, how, how) Are we feeling? Take a deep Breath I believe, at times, that life is a megaphone pointed up (Up) Towards the sky It shouts 'I don't know why' when times are evil 'You don't have to' comes the reply But you're forgiven, don't forget then Count to ten and get on with the next then
