And The Answer Is...

My mind is screaming
Life can be so shrill
Internal bleeding
Combustible will

The day goes on
Life seems unreal

In one state, mind’s in prison
I must change consciousness
I change states, mind solves problems
I find out what it means

And the answer’s found lying still
And the answer is crystal clear

One course, one meaning
Find it all, when still
Internal feeding
Find it all, when still

My rest goes on
World is surreal

In one state, mind’s in prison
I must change consciousness
I change states, mind solves problems
I find out what it means
In one state, mind’s in prison
I must change consciousness
I change states, mind solves problems
I find out what it means

And the answer’s found lying still
And the answer is crystal clear

Sleep awake, answers coming
Sleep awake, I alone

(Hold on, so strong)
It comes to me. The answer, the answer

(Hold on, life’s song)
The answer is, the answer is. Captured in my mind-

(Slow now, less strong)
It slips away, start slipping now, siphoning away

(Hold on, the answer is)
It’s over now, it’s over now, the answer is

Life! My life!
