The Essence Lyrics by Source

Return to Nothing

2016

[Intro]

[Verse]
I see that the essence
Of everything is that it is
It is harmless, it is so benign
It is meaningless till we add the mind
I will play with all the sand
Making castles and destroying them
It is all I want, it is all I know;
To create the world and then watch it grow

[Break]

The pain is the same
As the pleasure on this level

[Instrumental interlude]

Don’t lose yourself
Don’t lose yourself

Give yourself to the essence
Surrender to sensation

[Hook]
Little pieces breaking
Falling from my throne
How’d I find myself here?
Take me to my home
When the light of day
Seems so far away
Just give yourself to the essence
And the space between
What we are and what we see
Vanishes instantly

[Outro]
