Waning Epiphanies ft. One-Void & Greg Sopper Lyrics

I remember the first time that I came home

Nineteen years old, I was just a pained soul

So I wished it all away

Family drama on my mind

So I wished it all away

Angry lady on the line

So I wished it all away

Why we fightin all the time?

So I wished it all away

Joy is feelin' like a crime

So I wished it all away

It was my first time living all on my own

New country thousand miles from home

Lookin around feelin lost, oh where did I go wrong?

Damn, soul feelin sore from the weight of freedom

Had a decent gig, nine to five ya dig?

Workin for the rich man who lives more like pig

Was told that I was on the right path to make it big

But in my heart and my throat it felt more like a gag

Some sort of race for the bag, live a life kinda sad

Don't admit that it's bad, just sip to make you feel glad

Then retire with half of a million

Just so you can go and cut your green grass… what?

But everybody seemed satisfied

Was I the only one losing my mind?

Forced me to turn my eye inside

And then… shit got weird

I woke up on a Saturday mornin

Brain feelin beat from a long week

What was it that snapped me from snorin?

Through the window heard the sound of a funky drum beat

So I slipped on my shoes real quick

And found myself out in front of a strange sight

A line of drummers stood there as they rattled their snares

I was drawn like a fly to the light, what a delight

Took a seat as the syncopation rolled through my spine

Filled up my lungs, closed up my eyes

Every single stroke they played was an exquisite surprise

The type of shit that shamans did to help them turn off their minds

Suddenly, a feelin it took over me

Didn't take a drug, but felt as high as high can be

Giddily gigglin at everything in front of me

Struck by all creation and it's mystifying beauty

I saw a woman and I fell in love

I saw a man and I fell in love

I saw a pigeon and I fell in love

I saw a dead worm in its beak and fell in love

Danced my way back to my apartment

Realized that where you live you ain't apart from it

In constant exchange like when you breathe and shit

This earth's a part of me, and I'm a part of it

Anywhere I go, I am home

Anywhere I go, I am home

Anywhere you go, you are home

Anywhere you go, you are home

Anywhere I go, I am home

Anywhere I go, I am home

Anywhere you go, you are home

Anywhere you go, you are home

We are home

We are home

We are home

We are home

After getting back to my apartment

I found a black fly slamming itself against a window

Desperately trying to escape its prison and return home

Willing to kill itself in attempts of re-uniting with its True nature

Without Thinking, I stuck out my finger, and in my love-drenched mind I spoke to the fly

Come, I said, 'I'll set you free' and Just like that, the fly jumped from the glass

Onto my outstretched skin

I opened the window, moved my hand into

The fresh air and watched as the fly disappeared

Thankful to be home, forgetting what it was ever like to be Separate

I stood there for 20 minutes: looking at the window, and my hand, and back again

Wishing somehow That I could have captured the moment

Regretting that I didn't have my phone on me because evidence of such a

Miracle could maybe give others hope Maybe give myself hope

Give myself faith that, just how I was able to Effortlessly set the fly free

God will do the same for me

I got so lost in my thoughts of being the flies savior that I was no longer filled with love

And I forgot my way home
