Absence of Being

Verse

It is with great absence of my being that all that I'm seeing

baffles my senses with the things I find senseless

the things I hear the things I see

I ask how can that be

that there, that's no reflection of me

Verse

but then again I try to stay low

I try not to disturb the flow

of this humanity that has turned upon itself

for who am but one that has done little to change it

Verse

But as luck would have it

not out of force but out of habit

I continue to try to find ways

to that whatever I can I will try

to figure out it is who am I

A person out here drifting in this miasma

a fog of my own creation

never sure from one day to the next

how me my I am can influence

that which I see

that to a great degree

of that which by which I cannot abide

Chorus

It is the obscure nature of that which I am not sure

that breaks my resolve into tiny pictures

of the absence of my being

doubt

Is this real

How do I feel

roll the reel once again

turn up the sound and the feels

let me look once again

at all of the things

that are a part of me

let me yet again see all of me

such that the world of I me mine

dissolves into how what ours

means collectively in these desperate hours.

Bridge

Let me be us and us and ours

collectively humanity for all that is just

for any and all and not just "us"

Let us for a moment remember the humanity

beyond this insanity

let us for a moment be one taking advantage of our singular absence of being

this collective power of being one from many

This ability to slay dragons or submit them to our collective unity pick one
