"In The Bardo" lyrics
"In The Bardo"
Any day
Any day now
At the ending of the long haul
Just before the long fall down
I will listen for the warning
The evening will be morning before long
Deep into the shadows
Everything we had goes down
Into sublimation
The spinning spool will be unwound
It's on the way
It's on the way now
No answers to the questions
No sense of direction home
Just a subtle indication
A whispered invitation to let go
Nothing to hold onto
Nothing here belongs to you
Nothing here to care for
Nothing here will care for you
It's hard to say
Hard to say now
The forms are disappearing
Out of sight and out of hearing, out of mind
Mind no longer minded
Vision ever blinded, ever old
This is how it happens
No one's doing this to you
The something goes to nothing
The nothing goes to something new
Another day
Another day now
Just like the ones preceding
Ever hopeful that it's leading to an end
But the end is the beginning
Never losing, never winning
Just again and again and again
