"Out From Underneath" lyrics

"Out From Underneath"

Caught up in senses
With the light and the form and the feeling here
I am defenseless
From the drug of myself I am dealing with here

I ask a friend of mine
Who seems to have a handle on these matters
And every answer is a blow to the mind
That believes it's being flattered

Out from underneath
The edifice of thought that imprisons me
Pure reality
A freedom from all that is, apparently

So we continue
A ream of words, a clutch of broken arrows
I'm in the bullseye
As all of time and space around me narrows

Out from underneath
All of the illusion that created me
No more identity
A freedom from what I was, apparently

Out from underneath
All of the sensation that assembles me
Only energy
A freedom from how it feels, apparently

And so we dream a self-consciousness
The dream is I am aware of myself
I am aware that I am here and I'm on a path
And I'm leading myself to a destination
That's the dream and it's not wrong
And even after it's recognized that there is no separate self
There is still a story, there's still a movie
But for no one you can say
So things are still appearing, but for no one
And there's no longer the
The fearful control of "I have to change my reality
I have to change myself
So I can feel better, find fulfillment
Find enlightenment, find freedom"

She says

Stand down
Implacable man
There's nothing left here
For you to understand

Stand down
My impatient friend
There's nothing left here
For you to comprehend

Stand down
No one can see it
Let it resonate
Blessed be it

Stand down
If you can free it
Let it run wild
Blessed be it
