"Experience" lyrics

"Experience"

People always asking me
"How's it goin' man?"
If I try to answer that
They don't understand
It takes too long
Oh, it's all been going on way too long

No matter how good it looks
From the outside
You never know how bad it gets
On the inside
Say I'm the victim of a bad attitude
Why am I always tryin' to find a better mood?

I know about all the saints and sages
But it don't line up, it don't line up
I read the books and the heaviest pages
But it don't line up
With my experience

My moment to moment to moment to moment
Experience

Moojiji, moojiji
Show me how to be
Sadhguru, sadhguru
How do you do?
I'm done with living like yesterday
Give me a couple pointers
And I'll be on my way

I always lived with the best intentions
So it don't line up, it don't line up
I've paid my dues and I paid attention
So it don't line up, it don't line up
And still I have all the apprehensions
I'm so wound up, so wound up
I should be off to a new dimension
But I'm still bound up in my experience

I'm ready, ready for real
I'm ready to seal the deal
I'm ready, if need be
To get down on my knees and kneel

I'm ready, ready for real
Ready for the big reveal
I'm ready, ready for real
To jump off, jump off this wheel
...
