You ask me to stand still--
How can I when the world keeps turning?
If you can wait right here,
I'll be back when my heart stops burning.
Don't look for me in the sky--
look for me in the quiet moments,
time that just seems to flow by
whether we seek to hasten or slow it.
Yes, you may think it's a little mundane,
but give me the chance to help you explore it.
I hold the truth that you've sought for so long,
Which can only be found when you stop looking for it.
Yes, I guess life is pain,
but only when we start to think we control it.
Violence was never my aim,
but I can see now how my message got thwarted.
But know that your pain has a name,
and it goes beyond any diagnosis.
We're living in guilt and in shame
that's misunderstood as each brand new psychosis.
Know yourself
and you can know all,
up to a point--
then you start to fall.
Caught in eternal uncertainty,
Whether you are you and I am me,
or we are we, and together we soar--
but not just us two. I know I need more.
