Namaste Lyrics

(Beastie Boys/Nishita) 

     A butterfly floats on the breeze of a sun lit day
     As I feel this reality gently fade away
     Riding on a thought to see where it's from
     Gliding through a memory of a time yet to come
     Smoke paints the air
     Swirling images through my mind
     Like a whirlpool spin beginning to unwind
     And I stand at the edge cautiously awaiting
     As time slips by
     Carefully navigating by the stars in the sky
     And I sit
     And I think to myself
     And on the horizon the sun light begins to climb
     And it seems like it's been so long since he shined
     But I'm sure it was only yesterday

     A cold chill of fear cut through me
     I felt my heart contract
     To my mind I brought the image of light
     And I expanded out of it
     My fear was just a shadow
     And then I voice spoke in my head
     And she said dark is not the opposite of light
     It's the absence of light
     And I thought to myself
     She knows what she's talking about
     And for a moment I know
     What it was all about.
