The only symbols that reveal Lyrics

What do you want, what game are you playing?

The romantic self, the messianic belief,

Believers in love, entertainers of concepts,

False yet true, unsure what to think of you.

Action, practice, these are what's real,

Experientially, phenomenologically, epistemologically,

True for you, the only symbols that reveal.

Compassion, patience, recognizing humanity,

Humble small moments, ordinary encounters,

The monotonous moments of a regular day,

This is the practice, the only way.

Losing control, embracing a deeper source,

Acceptance of the other, within and without,

Compassion to the self, compassion to all,

The fractal truth of love's call.

To really be, to see, to hear, to feel,

Beyond mere symbols, to the profoundly real,

With the other, in quiet humble moments,

In the most infinitesimal lapse of reason.
