about

A number about painting your shit gold.... transcendence, if you will

lyrics

We don't dare be enslaved
By our own brains

Sense of self
Gone away
Bring it back
Some other day
Everybody climbs the tower
At their own pace
Not everybody sees the serpent
That's coiled at the base
(I know, I saw it)

I climbed the tower
Big ol' hole at the top
Then I saw the guru
But she told me to stop
She said

Paint that shit gold
Paint that shit gold with your fingertip
Paint that shit gold
You know you've got to be bold
So come on!

Sense of self
Blown away
Melted ego
Integrate
Everybody climbs the mountain
At their own pace
Not everybody sees the curtain
That's pulled across their face
(But I know- I SAW IT)

I won't dare be enslaved
By my own brain

Paint that shit gold
Paint that shit gold with your fingertip
Paint that shit gold
You know you've got to be bold
So come on!
