All we've got is now
…wrapped up like a baby on your doorstep
…like when your favorite song comes on the radio
So dig in!

I gotta mow the lawn, I gotta pay the rent
I didn’t hit my numbers at last month’s end
Gotta call yesterday from a long lost friend
The laughs, the memories, the traumas, they blend
Thinking ‘bout my dad and when he’s gonna drink
Thinking ‘bout the dishes piling up in the sink
Thinking ‘bout the girl who left Brooklyn
Thinking ‘bout the wars we ain’t ever gonna win
We fall off the earth but we have to come back
Moving like a train running outta track
Try your very best not to react
We fall off the earth but we have to come back
Working hard for my kid’s custody
Trying to lose weight, trying to gain sleep
I crawl to the alter, I sit back upon my knees
I bow to all that connects you to me
Oh, what is it worth? The practice is gold.
Oh, what is it worth? Priceless, I’m told.

I am the wave that forgets the sea
I am the forest for the trees
I am the grain that forgets the sand
All of the world in the palm of your hand
I am the cop that shoots the kid
I am the mother that flips her lid
Like a bird that never learns to fly
All of the world gone in the blink of an eye
Bear witness to it all
Bear witness to nothing at all
I am the blind man who stands on his feet
Carrying the lame man who can see
Step outside the matrix, look behind the screen
All of the world sits outside of me

Isvara (Divine Mirror)

There’s no one in the clouds looking down at you
No man in the sky telling you what to do
I don’t think you should be scarred
There’s always been a buzz in your heart so deep
A rattle in the center of all of your sheaths
Telling you, you should care
Look in the mirror. Do you see yourself, a divine reflection or something else?
You’re like a firefly trying to shine
You stare at the stars, claim the divine
That’s half the story don’t you see?
There’s a constellation in your body,
a map of the soul, a guide to be free,
an indestructible energy.
I see all the diamond cuts
The lights move down and then bounce up
The beam is never absolute
All we know is this: is I am it and you are it
and mono is two and one is dual.

Joy’s an ecstatic girl, everything shines with her in the world
Obvious rhymes and ridiculous songs
Joy has sipped her weed, but she’s decided, "Guys it’s not for me,
What I need is some equanimity."
Joy’s a compassionate kid, trying to forgive what the neighbor boy did
She walks a mile in his blues
Joy’s heart it overflows, look in side and you will find
So much more of the loving kind
We will suffer and we will die
We will utter, “What a beautiful life.”
Wouldn’t you rather that than no life at all?
Wouldn’t you rather that when when death comes to call?

Seeds (Sabijah)

This enlightenment, I can’t attain it
Your rock ’n’ roll, I can’t sustain it
The seeds they grow, I can’t contain them
The thoughts I have, I can’t explain them
There may be truth in the chaos
But you can’t find your true self if you’re always lost
The weeks they go by, we cycle through
We must change, just like the moon
I used to wander these city streets
Looking for a crowded bar I could have a drink
Now I gaze up at the trees
Looking for a quiet place I can breath
I watch my kids play in the yard
They run through the sprinkler, they chase the dog
I’m scared for their future, I must admit
But I’ll surrender to all of it

I don’t think I’ll ever be without seeds
One day I’m gonna be without seeds

I would sit on a mountain top, but I’d be there all alone
I’d jump out the window, if you made me CEO
I stand on the river side and I laugh as it all rolls by
I don’t jump in, I just dip my toes, and I can feel the heat inside me grow
I can feel the temperature rising, I can feel it meeting me in my core
I’m gonna spend some time on the good side tonight
I’m gonna surrender here on the floor
I can see the line on the horizon, I align isvara with my soul
The thoughts start to swirl, but I touch the world
And I know I won’t suffer no more
I wish you good fortune, I wish you good health
Why you looking for your selfie, when you should be trying to find your self?

Baby, You Don't (Avidya)

You think you got it together, but baby, you don’t
You say, “I’m the captain of this boat!”
Before it set sail, you didn’t see if it would float
You think you got it together, but baby, you don’t
You preach of the purity of your soul
You say you got it all under control
But when push comes to shove, you can never go with the flow
You think you got it together, but baby, you don’t
You feel the heat, from your head to your feet
Hot air in your cheeks, blowing your nonsense at me
The word on the street, is you can’t be beat
But what it looks like to me, is a few moves from defeat
You think you got it together, but baby, you don’t
You yell from the pulpit, “Do I have your vote?!”
But you’ll never push those beliefs down our throats
You think you got it together, but baby, you don’t

Born under a good sign
Jupiter in my twelfth house
Paid my dues in a past life
No karma police on the stake out
Good head on my shoulders
Married young in true love
Stand tall in big waves
They never break too much
I still waiting for the other shoe to drop
for my good luck charms to one day stop
as I fall on my knees
shout at heaven, “please!”
thinking, “how will I ever go on?”
I’m still waiting for the tightrope to break
for my next step to be my mistake
can a fall from grace
be my twist of fate?
thinking, “how will I ever go on?”
Time spent on the good side
Top down in a car ride
Goddamn how the stars shine
This new moon is all mine
Went to dinner last night
Held my hand said, “it’s alright”
Guess it’s not that clear
I’m hanging on by a thread, dear.

What if I never kick the bucket and avoid the big sleep?
What if my toes never curl in?
What if I’m never six feet deep?
I don’t want to live forever, just want to live the best I can.
I want to turn my chips in, and leave with cash in my hand.
What if I never buy the farm?
What if I never give up the ghost?
What if I never meet my maker?
I’ll regret that one the most.
Some people don’t want to be taken.
Some people don’t want that last breath.
But imagine what you’ll give up if you cheat your own death.
I’ve afraid I’ll never die.
I guess that’s what it’s like to really be alive.

I wake up tired everyday
Brush my teeth, put on my shoes
What’s a poor boy to do?
But keep crawling after you
You keep crawling further away
The game it takes my energy
The clothes she wears, the way the walks
Oh my lord, if these walls could talk
They keep my head like as spinning top
I try to sleep, I’m at a loss
All I can do is pray it stops
I keep chasing it…it’s all I can do
We keep chasing it…it’ll never do
We were all raised this way
Climb the ladder rung by rung, drop like flies, one by one
I could never find the middle road
The push and pull is a heavy load
I think I’ll let it come to me
Like the cycles of the moon
