Meditation Lyrics by Idiot Flesh

Tales of Instant Knowledge and Sure Death

1990

Hush, now
Seal you lips
No more quivering fingertips
Spent spirits, erasing tension
Give me your soft attention
We take a slow pace within this space
The waters are calm, ripe for reflection
Don't quench the quiet with worry
Self-pity will tow you under
Stand what we have is an ebb and flow
Treasure what comes, be rich when it goes
Pain has its uses past the moan
When you recognize the shoulder you cry on
Is your own
I know, at times, it gets too lonely
Cuts so big the night starts to squeeze
No fair (No fair)
My words don't mean shit
In your despair
Slow your blood
It's too far ahead to appreciate the pain of an ego unfed
No need to wait for the sun on time
Light the candles, animate shadows, echoing blues in the bowels of their flames
Flirting with darkness, dancing with ghosts
Romancing memories in mental frames
Here's your treasure, locked in yesterday
Here's your treasure, locked in time
Here's your treasure, locked in yesterday
You'll be a richer man when you give it away
When every thought is all at once
The heartbeat falls behind the mind
Too vast, too loud
To listen to the cogs when they start to grind
Sometimes, we all forget how to breathe
(Sometimes, we all forget how to breathe)
Sometimes, we actually have to ask ourselves:
How (how, how, how)
Are we feeling?
Take a deep
Breath
I believe, at times, that life is a megaphone pointed up
(Up)
Towards the sky
It shouts 'I don't know why' when times are evil
'You don't have to' comes the reply
But you're forgiven, don't forget then
Count to ten and get on with the next then
