lyrics

I was wearing beads and wearing robes,
smiling benevolently
I was caught up, caught up in wanting
to be, who they wanted they me to be
I played the role of the holy man
I was busy trying to be high
Trying to escape the parts of myself
that didn’t fit into that I

If I meditate enough, if I huff and puff
in pranayama, will it be enough?
Do I sadhana hard enough?
I keep coming down, when will it be enough?

Lived in projections, kept hidden depressions
caught in the specialness
Parts of myself shoved under the rug
from me and from everyone else
But after a while, you have to deal
you feel like you're standing on sand
You have to live, live with your horror
even the holy man

If I meditate enough, if I huff and puff
in pranayama, will it be enough?
Do I sadhana hard enough?
I keep coming down, when will it be enough?
Whole parts of me, gone in the unity
I found through LSD, then techniques of the yogi
But every now and then, I had to be alone
and when I was alone, I kept coming down

If I meditate enough
