lyrics

There's a bottom to the ocean
Dig deep enough, you might find the potion
Live long enough, you might find the motion
The rhythm and precision that underlies commotion
The roots in my chest, extend to my navel
Bridge to the dead, truth in the fables
Truth in the mysteries told around the campfire
Night's approaching, I can see the lamp's tired
Flame flickerin'
Tipsy with a fifth of gin
Light and dark mix in him
Deep in the abyss of him
Trace the spine of a question mark to the answer
Cough out the sickness, kill the cancer/

(Breakdown)

There's a bottom to the ocean
Dig deep enough, you might find the potion
Live long enough, you might find the motion
The rhythm and precision that underlies commotion
I'm wandering, travelin' the mountain in my spine
Shape, the great wall
The fountain of my mind
My body is a continent, full of bloody rivers
Take a step onto it and drown in my liver
Stardust inside me, illuminate the atoms
If I shine then hide me from God like Adam
Nomadic, by habit, a savage, I have this
Dream that gleams in the passage of madness
Passionate, life is a flash and it
Moves fast, passin quick
No use stashin' it
Death has a hell of a memory
When it sends for me, it sends for me
Prepare mentally
Never been a friend of me
Meditate, set it straight
No need to hesitate
Rituals, habitual
Live life as critical
Determined, inner sermons
Eradicate the vermon
Disciplined learnin'
Inner wheels churnin'
A monk on the road travels inward
Philosophies surge n' enter my center
A day of exploration
The depths of my soul, my destination
The life that I am facin
cuz life's a quest and I question
Life's a test and I'm testin'
Take the lies and undress them
And fly in the right direction
