We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment
We are choosing to be here, right now
Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality
This holy experience
Choosing to be here in

This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me
Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion

Alive, I

In this holy reality
In this holy experience
Choosing to be here in

This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me
Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion

Twirling round with this familiar parable
Spinning, weaving round each new experience
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing
The chance to be alive and breathing

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment, remember
We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion

    I'm right there with you. I have used entheogens as a spiritual sacrament and my experience on DMT, N-N, and 5mEo, have left me with the same thoughts as these lyrics express. I have no doubt they have used DMT. It's referenced in several songs. But I am floored by their ability to express this cosmic message so clearly in their music. Not only express the message, but guide you to the light with the literally sound of the music as well... hence, they are the 'Tool' to help guide you on your journey. =]
