Lyrics

Take a deep breath

There's nothing to be afraid of

What you just did was fall to the depths of existence

The place your mind keeps you away from by its

Own process of building models for understanding

And now the voice in your head is yours

And now the voice in your head is yours

And now the voice in your head is yours

You found yourself fall into madness

So you know the best thing you ever did was let go (let go)

You found yourself fall into madness

So you know the best thing you ever did was let go (let go)

I found myself fall into madness

So I know the best thing I ever did was let go (let go)

I found myself fall into madness

So I know the best thing I ever did was let go (let go)

See, life is a play and we're always acting out without ever

Seeing it from the writer's or audience's point of view

But we reach infinity when we become the writers

The actors, and the audience at the exact same time

So here you are and now you understand

You always were here, that's why you always ran

But you can only run away for so long

Before you catch up with yourself and become part of the song

I'd like to welcome you to the heaven you created

I tell the truth, this is the wisdom of the ancients

Holding on to something contradicts our being

So fly free (fly free), fly free (fly free)

Maybe I had to go crazy to get where I am

I felt myself slipping away and I let myself fall

Gotta lose your mind before you find it

When you finally find it, you find out you never lost it at all

There's a natural flow that's attached to your soul

It don't ask you to go, it just gradually pulls

It's always now and you're never not you

So follow yourself 'cause if nothing else, your existence is true

Have you ever felt yourself slipping away?

I am, I mean, I was slipping away

But no matter what I am, I'm me

And I know me, so I'm okay

Have you ever felt yourself slipping away?

You are, I mean, you were slipping away

But no matter what you are, you're you

And you know you, so you're okay

I'm not a poet or a communist, a comet or a star

You're not a genius or a prophet, you just are

I'm not insane 'cause I have no need for my sanity

It's just another chain that keeps me from reality

Reality is mine to play with and mold

The best thing I ever did was let go (let go)

So let go of the models, transcend the physical mind

And peacefully become part of the whole

The walls came tumbling down

But this time it was for keeps, I've been running around

Looking for my feet, now they're part of the ground

And make the ground complete, live in the now

And forever be at peace, live in the now

Don't stray away from the cycle

I'm one with the universe, one with the life flow

When you know that that which is below is above

The fear you once had will become love (feel the love)

Have you ever felt yourself slipping away?

I am, I mean, I was slipping away

But no matter what I am, I'm me

And I know me, so I'm okay

Have you ever felt yourself slipping away?

You are, I mean, you were slipping away

But no matter what you are, you're you

And you know you, so you're okay

It starts out with a question, how much of it is real?

Now all is irrelevant outside of this ordeal

Don't worry about explaining it

There ain't no human language that can

Actually describe exactly how you feel

Now I see clear through external distractions

Piece by piece it comes together, so I laugh and I smile

In the beginning it was deranged

But I guess all things come to pass after a while

If madness could have a picture face, how would it look?

Like step one to becoming the contents of your own book

Right where you are right now is where you're gonna stay

And as long as you're always moving

With yourself, you'll never slip away
