Easier Than This

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 lost turn around
And bring your feet to the ground
For the sun shines within you
And burns where you stand all alone
Yeah...
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 and do I find
Myself I seem so blind, so blind, so...
I can't dream of yesterday
And everything I see remembers who you were
The day that you would 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 myself
Simple and mesmerized my anger is exorcised
Slowly my heart has turned to coal
Careless and bold and do I find
Myself, I seem so blind, so blind, so...
I can't dream of yesterday
And everything I see remembers who you were
The day that you would 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
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 me, yeah...
All that I saved for me...
I can't believe in me...
I can't dream of yesterday
And everything I see remembers who you were
The day that you would 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
