We Are Told To Sell The Beams of our House and Buy Shoes for our Feet

We are told to sell the beams of our house and buy shoes for our feet

But the harder we try to defeat these spies we find we cannot compete

As nature shows us our inadequacies deep within

Confusing the hell out of us in just where to begin

The sages tell us to dive heart long into the Rav, the books and friends

And the harder I try all I see is that the ego has no end

It lies and manipulates me at every single turn

Filling my head with notions and a lack of concern

But to rise above this ego and dive heart first in

Leaves me wondering just where in the hell have I been

Dazed and confused about why things are so unclear

And in the very next breath I hold you all so dear

We are all part of one desire that must unite to receive the light

As only doing it this way can we make it day out of the night
