[Intro]
Sit down, cross legs, take breaths
Listen to the mind, run on like tape decks
Down with the monsters in the, great depths
I’ve been swimming straight up to reach the apex
[Verse 1]
Now i’m zoomin, a mile a minute, the infinite
Child, with no gimmick or need for false image
Ventured to the wilds, I was sick and diminished
From living, as a mystic, in a dying religion
So I sat, and sat, watched everything fade to black
At last, detached, from future and past
In fact, peeled back the mask, had to laugh
Saw time’s only real, for those who forget the act
We’re on a stage, this life is a play
An illusion built, out of sand and clay
If I may, let me pose a question?
Do you think your existence is seperate?
Electric, manifested, through the message
The spark that lights stars, is your very essence
The code, that animates all life’s, your own
Different manifestations of the oversoul
The sun, the earth, the stars out in orbit
The gallery of galaxies, Molecules and forces
A spark of the divine, tunneled into time
Convincing itself, it was alone in the forest
Convinced, that nothing but itself exists
it clung fast, the the mast, of a sinking ship
But alas, there’s no solace, in these comforts
why suffer? If all things must pass
[Hook]
The car that you drive…. it’s not gonna last
The things that you buy….. They’re not gonna last
The self you call ‘I’…. it’s never gonna last
never gonna last, all things must pass
The wealth you accrue… it’s not gonna last
Your bone and sinew … not gonna last
Your nation-state too… it’s bound to collapse
Never gonna last, all things must pass
[Verse 2]
Civilizations, wealth of nations
Great men, tyrants, and corporations
Trials, tribulations, dictators and racists
All just pages, flipped through the ages
Motivation, to abandon fixed thought loops
Elevation, now I seek lost truth
light surrounding me, practicing Alchemy
Peel back fallacy, get back to the first roots
I can’t control death, and neither can you
It happens when it happens, so what are you gonna do?
Some people let their fear of death, enslave them
Cage them, hang em from the neck, estrange them
Explain then, why are we waiting, for change
Afraid, we’ll die, and experience pain
Lived a life of comfort, on a sleep number
Dazed, in place, subject to decay
But, Today’s the day, that I face my pain
Today’s the day, I stop repeating mistakes
Today’s the day, that I breathe and let go
At peace in the midst, of this crazy show
So If the satellites fell, and the king’s men
Made good, on their thermonuclear threats
I’ll be good, i’ll be fine, have no distress
After all my time here, there’s nothing I possess
[Hook]
The knowledge you gain…. it’s not gonna last
Loves, hopes, and pains….. They’re not gonna last
All that we’ve made…. it’s never gonna last
never gonna last, all things must pass
Your tanks and your guns… they’re not gonna last
crooked slush funds … not gonna last
The earth and the sun… they’re never gonna last
Never gonna last, all things must pass
