Lyrics

A clock with no hands 
hangs on the wall 
might as well not be there, at all

A resonate glow knowledge exists
within the flow 
there it persists

looking to hold 
trying to define 
what cannot be held 
this that’s yours, this that’s mine

beyond the constructs within the experience
there are instructions leading to the mysterious
Capturing creation
A ridden wave
delight in each manifestation

Here to be brave
and to be true 
to ghosts that came before me
and you try to tame
enough to express weightless

mystical transcendence
beyond the duality above the fray
questions answered without delay

looking to hold 
trying to define
 what cannot be held 
this that’s yours,
this that’s mine
