Lyrics:

Verse 1

I look at this phone, I look at this arm
I look at the things that have caused me alarm
I look at the coat rack, I look at the door
But I’m not really seeing the truth anymore.
The debris of the years has darkened the glass
I’m watching the shadows and memories pass.
I admit it today, I surrender the bough...
I see nothing as it is now.

Chorus

I see nothing as it is now
I’m clearing the mind, I’m making the vow
To sweep out the corners, to dust off the shelves
To stop telling stories to comfort ourselves.
The understanding will come when the debris is gone
When the true light of vision begins to dawn.
I drop the perception, I clear out the brow...
I see nothing as it is now.

Verse 2

True Denial is the weapon I wield
Not to hide in the dark, but to stand in the field!
I deny the belief that the error can sting
I deny the power of the frightening thing.
It is not concealment, it’s correction of sight
Dragging the error out into the Light.
My Right Mind depends on the choice that I make
To deny the illusion and finally wake!

Bridge

The Atonement is the Splendid Defense!
It makes no attack, it makes no pretense.
Every other shield is a two-edged sword
That turns on the holder and severs the cord.
But this one is safe! It can never attack!
It only heals forward, it never looks back!
The Meek inherit the earth with their might
Because they have laid down the need to be right!

Chorus

I see nothing as it is now
I’m clearing the mind, I’m making the vow
To sweep out the corners, to dust off the shelves
To stop telling stories to comfort ourselves.
The understanding will come when the debris is gone
When the true light of vision begins to dawn.
I drop the perception, I clear out the brow...
I see nothing as it is now.

Outro

We return as we go forward.
We return as we go forward.
Undoing the past.
Walking the bridge.
At the end of time...
We are already Home.
