I'm slipping in, learning to swim Wallowing in a sea of sins Pull me up just to drag me under Drown my world to make me wonder Am I too far out to get back in? Am I too far gone to know where I've been? I gotta get back- gotta get back Gotta get back to the source where I can begin Slipping in and filling up Holding out this empty cup Drinking deep and drinking long Drinking until the empty is gone Find the silence, hold the silence Trust the silence not to lie Repeat the words- repeat the words Repeat the words- until you tell me why Slipping in, under my skin Cutting deep where flesh is thin Reaching down to clutch the bone Ripping up the seeds I'd sown Now there's room within this womb Now there's time to make it bloom Suck it all in- suck it all in Suck it all in and pause until I can resume Slipping out where language ends Matter fades and senses blend Drifting off I come to find Life and death are states of mind Restitution for dissolution Substitution for evolution Repeat the words- repeat the words Repeat the words until you tell me why
