Not at first, but right there in the last instant
An unmistakable relief
You see, because they were afraid
And now they saw for the very first time how easy it was to just... let go
And they saw in that last nanosecond
They saw... what they were
And you, yourself
This whole big drama was never anything but a jury-rigged presumption of dumb-will
And you could just let go
You finally notice you didn't have to hold on so tight
To realize
All your life
And all your love, all your hate, all your memory, all your pain
It was all the same thing
It was all the same dream
A dream that you had inside a locked room
A dream about... being a person
At the edge of life there is a field
Where the mind cannot believe
Thoughts get on their hands and knees
And surrender to every blade of grass
If I can't stop I can't see
That freedom has a boundary
A fence linked with all
All I can't accept
Made with a sword I have defined and I will defend
So I'll die today
So tomorrow I can live
Or are you dead right now?
Born every time you blink your eyes
I'll dye my brain
With every color of the moment
Maybe the sun sets the same
But with a different stain in the sky
I'll die today
So tomorrow I can live
At the edge of life there are no names
No acting out the roles today
Just a field you cannot believe
Stop get on your hands and knees
And surrender to every blade of grass
If you can't stop you can't see
That freedom has a boundary
A fence linked with all you can't accept
Made with a story you have refined and you will defend
So I'll die today
So tomorrow I can live
Or are you dead right now?
Born every time you blink your eyes
I'll dye my brain
With every color of the moment
Maybe the sun sets the same
But with a different stain in the sky
I'll die today
So tomorrow I can live
So I'll die today
So tomorrow I can live
Or are you dead right now?
Born every time you blink your eyes
I'll dye my brain
With every color of the moment
Maybe the sun sets the same
But with a different stain in the sky
I'll die today
So tomorrow I can live
