ANATA - LEAVING THE SPIRIT BEHIND lyrics

Did you ever feel

it's like you're hanging over an abyss

Your hands are tied,

you can't break loose

You're still hanging

only because your teeth

Have grasped the outermost twig of life

The only that keeps you from falling

Is that you keep your teeth clenched

Your body can struggle

But you just can't scream

You know you'd be crushed

Hitting the floor of reality

You suffer on and feel

Soon you're about to give in

Do you assume a reality

Existing without our perception

I don't believe it is so

The notion of reality is just a conception

Created by senses and mind

Leaving the spirits behind

If you view reality

As existing without the persistence

of minds

Then keeping teeth clenched

may be what is right

But if reality is created by you

Realize

This image can also be modified

I'm speaking of bringing the ground

Closer to your feet

Reducing the distance between

You and reality perceived

Let go and land in this image

of your consciousness

Ready to reconstruct

[Lead: Allenmark]

Do you assume a reality...
