Do you wanna start a cult with me? I’m not vibrating like I oughta be I need a purpose, I can't keep surfing Through this existential misery Now, we are going to need some real estate But if I choose my words carefully Think I could fool you that I’m the guru Wait, how do you spell epiphany?
Before the truth will set you free It’ll piss you off Before you find a place to be You’re gonna lose the plot Too late to tell you now One ear and right out the other one Because all you ever do is chant the same old mantra
Could I have your attention please It’s time to tap in to your tragedy Think you could use a new abuser Close your eyes and listen carefully Imagine you're stood on a beach Water gently lapping at your feet But now your sinking What were you thinking? That’s all the time we have this week
And I know this doesn’t make a lot of sense But do you really wanna think all by yourself now? All I’m asking for’s a little bit of faith You know it's easy to believe And I know this doesn’t make a lot of sense Y’know you gotta work the corners of your mind now All I’m asking for’s a little bit of faith You know it's easy to, so easy to believe
welcome to peace welcome to spiritual enlightenment
some guy speaking "three forming?"
welcome to freedom welcome to a new world order welcome to a new way of thinking welcome to an unbind ???
some guy speaking again
welcome to the worst night of your life welcome to stockholm welcome to true ??? welcome to a new pain welcome to the end of the world welcome to mantra
