Lyrics

am I done with external things
I thought might bring me pleasure?
what then fills the hole instead
while I hunt for inner treasures?

can I point with a pin
when my palatial home became a tiny jail?
was it a race for someone else to win
before my avocado boat set sail?

warmed by a comfy memory
or on whatever crap I'd been depending
this simple moment
might just be the remedy
for disbelief I've been suspending

am I done with external things
I thought might set me free?
hundred years with softer strangers' power over me

the soul of an olympian
and the clothing of an old old boy
bending my being to reach for the stars
but here is where these very moments are

warmed by a comfy memory
or on whatever crap I'd been depending
this simple moment
might just be the remedy
for disbelief I've been suspending

the mind makes better
servant than a master
the mind makes better....

warmed by a comfy memory
or on whatever crap I'd been depending
this simple moment
might just be the remedy
for disbelief I've been suspending
