13 Arrows, 13 Stars

I am not me, I’m everyone
Just as all the stars are suns
Burned in the space of second thought
I own a flame that can’t go on
I see what’s here but not behind
All of the men, all of their eyes
I am not me, I’m everyone
She said to me, she said to me

You are now what you have once been
On earth as it is in heaven

I am not here, I’m everywhere
Just as all my thoughts are air
Thrown in the sky and scattered far
Like 13 arrows and 13 stars
The eagle strangles alibis
The truth becomes my battle-cry
I am not here, I’m everywhere
She said to me, she said to me

The men who build up walls
But who’ve taken off the ceiling
Won’t be any drier when it rains
They’ve built celestial halls
But they’ve forgotten the feeling
Of what it’s like to see the earth from space
I’ve traveled many lifetimes
Just to be here for this evening
I just can’t ever seem to go away
So I wait on my knees
And I wade through all the suffering
Waiting for the simple to grow
