—  b a c k t o p r e s e n c e —

Somehow none of it matters anymore
The fear, the worry, the canyons of unknown
This has brought me back to presence
Breathing in and breathing out

I want to believe that you are now everywhere
Holding us together saying everything is love

In the basement of the lower east side
I said your monsters could come live
In the paintings of my mind
That was many moons ago
And still, I feel it now
The February wind   
And all my questioning

Wondering if, you're everywhere
Is it really just presence
Breathing in and breathing out

Somewhere between where you are and where you're going
Where are you going?
Where have you been?

Let us meet again in a magical world
On feathers of flamingos 
or as monsters lost in time
Your layers they all matter
They’re your stories who you are
Everything you’ve seen and who you’ve been

And now I'm between where I've been and where I'm going
On the edge of unknown canyons
With all the monsters in my mind

But I believe that we're all everywhere
Always trying to remember
Always tethered together
On a journey of surrender 

Breathing in and breathing out
Breathing in and breathing out
Breathing in and breathing out

Wherever you are, wherever you are
