Let Go/All That You Hear

Flying down 316 midnight in your old Honda CRV
Motown was on the cheap stereo, harsh sibilant and crispy
You sing along
Sometimes I sing along
Oh which part of me is still stuck beside you and which part says "I'm moving on"
I let you go
When you let me go
Guess you knew you'd end up in a song when we met on the rooftop downtown
I told you about my strict fear of falling; you told me not to look down
Do you sleep alone?
It's funny, I sleep alone
Oh Jessica in time, we both would let go, but I'm glad I know what I know
I let you go
When you let me go
Guess it's true that I'll miss Mom and Dad if it's really my last year on Earth
I've been selling some gear and donating clothes so there's less to sort out when I go
Am I ready though?
How can you really know?
Oh which part of me is still stuck in silence and which parts say, "I wanna know"
I let you go
When you let me go
But can I let go
Of the life that I've known?
Been wandering in the desert
There's still manna in my hair
But maybe if I starve to death
For six long years...
(contemplation...)
Breathe in the mountain air
You can feel rocks and trees and fauna when you're there
And looking behind those eyes
Into the turquoise that you'd remember from blue skies
The Sun in inside you too
Lifting the spirit into Anja and Anu
Once you itemize all your fears, then you realize
You're one with all that you hear
You're one with all that you hear
So tell me all that you hear...
One thousand years inside the voice of child man
Ten thousand years inside of every exhalation

My guitar is a box of air
An empty space where sounds can swirl
And on the days that I'm laid bare
The inner world is the outer world
A low strong branch upon a tree
Makes a perfect place to sit
The carved initials you can see
Was this a place where lovers kissed?
What time can't change
Would never fit on the page
"I like your vibe. What's your sign?"
The stars can't say
But we still read em anyway
Witnessing my thoughts as they arise

Oxygen is just like water you can't see, surrounding everything
and every song moves like the spirit
what a sound invisibility
Being a man's like living underwater, you can't see
days will float by carelessly
if there was something before then there's something after
don't take the middle so seriously
And there was a time that's still beneath my fingers when I thought
what's unseen has been lost
And there was a time that I can still remember when I thought
That God was like a song
Was I wrong?
If every song moves like the spirit, what's separating you from me?

I've been coming around to an idea, that Bennett Kane doesn't exist
And that identity is just a way we organize our raw experience
I contemplate the emptiness of my guitar
I think that words and teachers only take you so far
Looking past the nothingness I hear You speak
But can you peel it back and find what's underneath?
Cause I've been coming around to an idea that Bennett Kane doesn't exist
Living every moment as the moment of enlightenment
Sit atop a mountain you can feel the wind
It's like an ocean current, at work in everything
I heard that there's a stillness in your inner peace
But there's a magic motion guiding you and me
Let love arise
Let love arise
Let love arise
Let love arise
(God bless you.)
