Drink the poison

You close your eyes and you try to fight To push away the shadows in the night The teachers told you "don't you think of bad" But now it’s full-time work and making you mad You want to subtract but it only adds You want to divide but it multiplies the bad This mind of yours is a supercomputer track But you’re sitting in the trunk instead of in the back It’s a vehicle moving to its own design A total nuisance messing with your spine You try to delete but it pops right back It pops right back It lives in your dreams and it starts to track! You’re drinking the poison, expecting them to die But you’re the one burning under this sky Yeah, you drink the poison, you swallow the pain But you’re the only one crying in the rain Stop the subtraction, stop the divide Step away from the storm raging inside! Just feel the beat, feel the breath, feel the flame You are the life, you are not your name! Five minutes of anger and your blood turns toxic Locked in a box and your thoughts are chaotic Resentment and fear are the venom you brew It doesn't hurt them, it only kills you It’s a chemical trap that you make yourself Putting your joy away on the shelf So what should you do? Oh, don't do a thing Stop trying to pull on that broken string There’s a space in between what you think and you feel A distance you need to make yourself heal Beyond your emotion, beyond your own sight You are still there alive in the light You’re drinking the poison, expecting them to die But you’re the one burning under this sky Yeah, you drink the poison, you swallow the pain But you’re the only one crying in the rain Stop the subtraction, stop the divide Step away from the storm raging inside! Just feel the beat, feel the breath, feel the flame You are the life, you are not your name! Shut down your eyes, you don't disappear The window is closed but you’re still right here You are the master, the vehicle must serve Don't let it crash on every single curve The end of the suffering is starting right now The space in between will show you just how Your heartbeat is pumping, your breath is the key You gathered the mess, but the mess isn't ME! You’re drinking the poison, expecting them to die But you’re the one burning under this sky Yeah, you drink the poison, you swallow the pain But you’re the only one crying in the rain Stop the subtraction, stop the divide Step away from the storm raging inside! Just feel the beat, feel the breath, feel the flame You are the life, you are not your name! Just sit right back. Let the engine unpack. Feel the pulse. Feel the breath. The end of the mental death. Are you alive right now?... you are the life!.
