lyrics

Can’t stay in place
Now that it’s all changed again
I don’t have to have a home
Nomad, wanderer, made to roam

Lately lying down with torment cluttering my head, I’ve found
I can’t sleep at all, this recall casts a nagging doubt:
A soul,
Only in this lonely human body, material
Tongue-tied, flawed and cast aside, yet so real and all I know
All I know

Am I just an animal
Chemical reactions, DNA, synapses, are they the human soul

Here to there
Then there to gone
Please don’t act like I belong

Run away
I’m still the same
Somewhere is there more
Is there more

Rain is falling down, this flood is covering my head, right now
Trapped within the physical, within the sensory I’m fed
Take it all away, just let it go, all material
Spirit, if you are at all, take me somewhere, where I’ll know
Where I’ll know

I am not an animal
Beautifully distracted, pointless and erratic, only flesh and bone
Am I not a spirit soul
Infinite in purpose, somewhere weightless where all joy befalls

Just keep moving
Get closer
Keep moving
