Existential Hero

Whole world! From the high country to the bottom of the sea

I caught a place that I needed to be

It comes and it goes, the momentary glory

Then, quick as they came they’re down the drain

Another one coming from a shallow place will not remain

Remember when what was possible would never end

Now we abide by limits I cannot defend

It fits good and yet the best we reject

You get what you get I guess don’t get upset

Where is that garden of eden

Under stars and the trees and

And so far, so far from the heathens

Planets follow patterns, we fall into seasons

Flowing like a river we broaden and deepen

Hold on, before we are gone

Got lots to do but time with you

Keeps on sliding

And I keep on blowing a fuse, there you go

Unseen, your face in the screen

I feel your attention dividing

But this is worth more than the news

Prepare to bare all

I paint the cave walls

I am the hobbit

With the ring in the forrest

I am the richest I am the poorest

A particle I vibe I just keep dancin’

I move from this world into a mansion

Of light and love as below and above

I chart the planets and the whales migration

I’m home everywhere I run the station

The last light of a dying star

In every game I am that wild card

I participate I’m paleolithic

And geology and astrophysics

A true cowboy existential hero

I compiled that deck and named it tarot

I’m in play I want the ball

I’m buddha with amnesia then sudden recall

Hold on, before we are gone

Got lots to do but time with you

Keeps on sliding

And I keep on blowing a fuse, there you go

Unseen, your face in the screen

I feel your attention dividing

But this is worth more than the news

Somehow I fell into it all again, it all again

Somehow I fell into it all again, it all makes sense

Somehow I fell into it all again, it all make sense

Somehow it was here all along
