Ee Oo (Practicing Being Alive)

(Vocalization)
The practice right now is to see what I'm clinging to
What do I hold in my hand that might trip me?
Grasping at the past, like a stone, it hits me
Expectations of what I've done, lingering on me
Twenty years ago, ten years ago, one year ago
Why would I act that place so?
Who is standing where my feet are, and what will we do?

Grasping at the past, like a dream, it leaves me
What would I do if you were me right now?
Like a beast, I'll show you my teeth
Who do I see in my mind when I think of myself as an idol of mine?
Grasping at sand, like a fool, it eludes me
When walking on air, or boots on the ground, I'm alive

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
