Lyrics Joseph Arthur

Joseph Arthur

It Takes a Lot of Time to Live in the Moment

It takes a lot of time to live in the moment

To become a thing of no thing

To bleed into emptiness

And be sucked into the cosmos

To reverse aging

And be born again into the arms

Of mother sucking at life

And infinitely charged an infant

It takes a lot of time to live in the moment

To believe without belief

To suffer without grief

To steal the riches without being a thief

By taking it all

The construct

The identity

The ego

And lighting it up with fluid and a match

And as it burns

Throw it to the cops of soul who catch

Arrest it and kick it back

Into the center of the sun

Burning out black hole teeth

Laughing and chewing the moment

It takes a lot of time to live in

As it takes a lot of time to live in the moment

Where dark is light

And blindness sight

And where wrong is right

And the day is night

And there is no more I, or you, or time

Or future

Or need to nickel and dime

Or skin

Or bones

Or thought of rhymes

Just the evil low-end buzz of consciousness fuzz

Blossoming rose to the nose of eternity eternal

And the vast never-was

Sucking all the fire from the old sun

And lighting up the new one

For the generations to come

Who have so much time to live in the moment

It takes a lot of time to live in the moment
