Easier Than This

Under the bodhi tree

I saw you next to me

Closing your eyes and looking in

Clouds in the sky today

Thoughts as we drift away

Free from our wounds and from our sin

Islands of loss turn around

And bring your feet to the ground

For the sun lives within you

and it burns where you stand all alone

Outside the temple gates

Something eternal waits

endless and so misunderstood

frozen in time you fall

down from the highest wall

clinging for life to what you could

careless and bold do I find

myself I see so blind so blind so...

I can't dream of yesterday

And everything I see remembers who you were

The day that you had come to me

And I can't find the words to say

Shouldn't it be easier than this

So much easier than this for me

Under the falling rain

I carry a broken chain

Poisoned and fighting for my soul

Simple and mesmerized

My anger is exorcised

Slowly my heart is turned to coal

I can't say no, I can't give in

I can't let go of what I'm in

I don't know how, it might be now

But it won't be all that you want from

Cause I can't believe in me
