The Veil of Maya

Lyrics

[Chorus] I see God when I look at you Pink and green, and a thousand blues Oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah Spirit wrapped into human form I believe we were meant for more Oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah [Post-Chorus] In the spirit, in the blue light In the white light, in the halo In the moonlight, in the sunlight And it feels like a volcano [Verse 1] It's drippin' off my cheeks and I love it I can see who I'm now becomin' I spent three decades runnin' Tryin' to shine, now I just chill and let the sun in The Holy Spirit in a human form You're just hidin' underneath a uniform I fell pretty far, but made it through the storm Now I got fame and peacе, I'm a unicorn I can feel my dad watchin' me My life story is like prophеcy I just fear mediocrity So much light inside, gotta get it outta me And the journey's been intense Sit back and light some incense We don't know where we're goin' But I do know my past led me to this moment, and [Chorus] I see God when I look at you Pink and green, and a thousand blues Oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah Spirit wrapped into human form I believe we were meant for more Oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah [Post-Chorus] In the spirit, in the blue light In the white light, in the halo In the moonlight, in the sunlight And it feels like a volcano [Verse 2] The exciting thing is it's only the beginning Second inning The underpinnings of sadness have alchemized and crystallized in the service I still feel that horrible, existential, deep fucking pain Deep sadness I just don't try to numb it anymore I don't try to cover it up with drugs, or food, or sex, or fame anymore I sit right there in the fuckin' thick of it And it's the courage to feel this The sadness It's that courage that makes me who I am It's what allowed me to write this It's what makes me a deeper, more real man It's what allows me to connect with you right now And all I really wanna say to you is I love you And by you, I don't mean some person from my past or my future I mean you, you I know we haven't met But in some ways, we know each other very, very well Because you know that horrible, existential, deep pain just as well as I do And I just wanna remind you what I need to remind myself [Bridge] I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love And I've heard it so many goddamn times, but get up! Get up! [Verse 3] Sometimes the thing that hurts the most is just how much love you have inside you You feel like you don't always have a place to put it You don't know what to do with it You think that people around you won't appreciate it So you pretend like you don't have the love, and it gets stuck inside you And love is like water When it doesn't flow, it gets rancid and turns to poison It turns to poison It turns to anger, resentment, and hate And if you're really honest with yourself Your hate is really just love that you didn't express You got scared You got scared that if you actually gave all the love you had, that it might run out You got scared that maybe your love wouldn't be received, and it would go to waste So you throttled down the amount of love you were giving To match the amount of love you think you were getting But come home, silly You could never run out And your purpose is not to get love Your purpose is to give love I wish you could see yourself right now Struggling and thriving at the same time You beautiful thing I wish you could see how beautiful you are Go shine Being who you are will bring great peace to many others Go [Outro] Go
