Easier Than This Lyrics

Under the bodhi tree
I saw you next to me
Closing your eyes and looking in
Clouds in the sky today
Thoughts as we drift away
Free from our wounds and from our sin
Islands of loss turn around
And bring your feet to the ground
For the sun lives within you
and it burns where you stand all alone

Outside the temple gates
Something eternal waits
endless and so misunderstood
frozen in time you fall
down from the highest wall
clinging for life to what you could
careless and bold do I find
myself I see so blind so blind so...

I can't dream of yesterday
And everything I see remembers who you were
The day that you had come to me
And I can't find the words to say
Shouldn't it be easier than this
So much easier than this for me
Under the falling rain
I carry a broken chain
Poisoned and fighting for my soul
Simple and mesmerized
My anger is exorcised
Slowly my heart is turned to coal

I can't say no, I can't give in
I can't let go of what I'm in
I don't know how, it might be now
But it won't be all that you want from
Cause I can't believe in me
