To Be Alive

when it rains
it is the universe
giving itself to itself
to quench its thirst.

when we make love
it is the universe
making love to itself

to perpetually
manifest
itself for itself.

every action is
the act of
life infinitely

revealing itself
to itself.

we start to die as
soon as we are born and
go back to the place where
we were torn from

breathe in, breathe out,
move your molecules about.
all is repeated
endlessly.
(repeat)

water from the ground
returns to form a cloud
that rains on the garden below.
and even as we dream,
we still have a conscious stream
of thought, we never cease to go on.

hook:
to be alive is to
die at the same time.
(repeat)

blood in, bleed out,
as you can see,
there is no doubt that
death and life
go hand in hand.
water pounds rock
into sand
so in the end,
water is the
stronger one.
but it's all the same...

blood out, blood in,
let everything begin -
again and
again and
again and
again...
