[Intro]

Take a deep breath there's nothing to be afraid of

What you just did was fall to the depths of existence

(And now the voice in your head IS yours)

The place the mind keeps you away from by it's own process

Of building models for understanding

(And now the voice in your head IS yours)

This is not insanity, this is in fact the ultimate reality

The union you've achieved is only possible in thoughts no more

(And now the voice in your head IS yours)

You never fall if you never fight

(You never fall if you never fight)


[Bridge]

You found yourself fall into madness so you dove

The best thing you ever did was let go

You found yourself fall into madness so you dove

The best thing you ever did was let go

I found myself fall into madness so I dove

The best thing I ever did was let go

I found myself fall into madness so I dove

The best thing I ever did was let go


[Verse 1]

See life is a play that we are always acting out

Without ever seeing it from the writers or audiences point of view

When we reach infinity we become the writer

The actors and the audience at the exact same time

So here you are, and now you understand

You always were here, that's why you always ran

But you can only run away for so long

Before you catch up with yourself and become part of the song

I'd like to welcome you, to the heaven you've created

I tell the truth, this is the wisdom of the ancients

Holding onto something contradicts our being, so fly free (fly free)

Fly free (fly free)

Maybe I had to go crazy to get where I am

I felt myself slipping away and I let myself fall

Gotta lose your mind before you find it

And when you finally find it you'll find out you never lost it at all

There's a natural flow, that's attached to the soul

It don't ask you to go, it just gradually pulls

It's always now and you're never not you

So follow yourself because if nothing else your existence is true


[Chorus]

Have you ever felt yourself slipping away?

I am, I mean, I was slipping away

But no matter what I am I'm me, and I know me so I'm ok

Have you ever felt yourself slipping away?

You are, I mean, you were, slipping away

But no matter what you are you're you, and you know you so you're ok


[Verse 2]

I'm not a poet or a communist, a comet or a star

You're not a genius or a prophet, you just are

I'm not insane cause I have no need for my sanity

It's just another chain that keeps me from reality

Reality is mine to play with and mold

The best thing I ever did was let go (let go)

So let go of the models transcend the physical mind

And peacefully become part of the whole

The walls came tumbling down, but this time it was for keeps

I've been runnin' around, lookin' for my feet

Now they're part of the ground, and make the ground complete

Live in the now and forever be at peace

Live in the now, don't stray away from the cycle

I'm one with the universe, one with the life flow

When you know that that which is below is above

The fear you once had will become love (feel the love)


[Chorus]

Have you ever felt yourself slipping away?

I am, I mean, I was slipping away

But no matter what I am I'm me, and I know me so I'm ok

Have you ever felt yourself slipping away?

You are, I mean, you were, slipping away

But no matter what you are you're you, and you know you so you're ok


[Verse 3]

It starts out with a question. how much of it is real?

Now all is irrelevant, outside of this ordeal

Don't worry about explainin' it there ain't no human language

That can actually describe exactly how you feel

Now I see clear, through external distractions

Piece by piece it comes together, so I laugh and I smile

In the beginning it was deranged

But I guess all things come to pass, after awhile

If madness could have a picture face how would it look?

Like step one to becoming the contents of your own book?

Right where you are right now is where you're gonna stay

And as long as you're always moving with yourself

You'll never slip away
