Vow

In the space between breath I reach for emptiness While distraction ripples out across my mind Now stepping away I finally see the waves And I've been carried out by the tide But I'll go back to the face I wore before All these lines that border my perception Calling every shot I only sink the wrong one I'm the only obstacle here in the way Grabbing every thought to know that I am someone I could keep on clamping down Or maybe I could be a friend Or maybe I could be a bridge Or maybe I could be a boat A lamp to light the road A way back home for someone else One thousand arms stretched Out to an endless mess It's a difference I will never make But I don't mind, who can quantify a soul So with patience I'll continue working Calling every shot I only sink the wrong one I'm the only obstacle here in the way Letting every thought alone, my senses blown out I could leave it all behind Or maybe I could be a friend Or maybe I could be a bridge Or maybe I could be a boat A lamp to light the road A way back home for someone else Faceless silhouette in the mirror I'll finally face this silhouette in the mirror I'll find the faceless silhouette in the mirror Cleared out emptiness in the mirror Become the faceless silhouette in the mirror Shapeless silhouette, transmitter Cleared out emptiness in the mirror Get myself out of the way Never quite satisfied With any feeling I call myself May I be awakened by A desire to save someone else Om mani padme hum Om mani padme hum Om mani padme hum Om mani padme hum
