Breath Within The Breath

(album: One Wild Life: Body - 2016)

The world is full of liars full of cheats
The rich hold down the poor beneath their feet
I don't see that wickedness in me
But maybe I'm just blind and cannot see
Sometimes I get tired of being alive
Embarrassed by the plight of humankind

I'm in my ivory tower righting songs
In search of finding right in all that's wrong
I thought I had the answers once before
But found the devil lurking in that door
I'm looking for that emptiness inside
The breath within the breath, sight in the sight

How long will it be like this
Will it be like this
How long
How long will it be like this
Will it be like this
How long

Imprisoned in the constructs of belief
That I'm an individual with needs
The soul inside is longing to be free
To the all, all our destiny
Sometimes I get tired of being alive
But maybe that's okay, part of the fight

How long will it be like this
Will it be like this
How long
How long will it be like this
Will it be like this
How long
