lyrics

Just hold your breath while I disappear
For soon enough the smoke will clear

I've got a brand new disease
Spreading contagious belief
And every night I lie to sleep
Under the Bodhi tree I dream
This world's an anchor made to drown
All of those struggling just to breathe

My mind sways like dust softly carried by the breeze
And with every breath I take I hear the calls of suffering
All the world's asleep but my awakening's complete

The one gone thus rose to speak

One day you might find that it’s so strange
Why we should toil in the dirt and blistering heat
But there are those left amongst you
Who still carry on as though half asleep
The world you know is an illusion
We'd rather slumber for it's easier to dream
But soon the smoke will clear
So hold your breath while I disappear

As lotus blossoms bloom upon the surface of a stream
I wonder will they grasp the truth in all I have to teach
For beauty lies beyond the gild and gold we strive to seek

In time you might see your conditions will change
When you feel yourself slowly slipping away
From sickness, age, and death we look away so not fear
Don't cleave to what you have be not afraid
Just hold your breath while I disappear

One day the smoke will clear
Cling not to all that’s dear
Greed, hate, delusion, fear
Watch while they disappear
