Compassion

(Verse)
Crawling through the wreckage of a selfish mind...
Ignoring echoes, a billion strong, yet blind...
Flesh, a prison. Skin, a wall.
Building monuments that only fall.
A singular vision, a fragmented plea.
Disconnected, from the forest, from the tree.
(Pre-Chorus)
Aching for meaning, in a vacuum of one.
The isolating cycle has begun.
Push the weight, deny the strain.
Ignoring the shared and the common pain.
(Chorus)
WE ARE ETERNAL, we are connected!
From the cosmic dust, we were resurrected!
Shed the illusion, the separate "I".
Embrace the burden, let the ego die!
This is the vessel, the borrowed form!
In the collective consciousness, we weather the storm!
(Interlude 1)
(Verse 2)
See the world through a stranger's eyes.
In their reflection, a shared surprise.
The silent scream, the hidden tear.
Dismantle the fortress of our fear.
Recognize the struggle, the weight they bear.
Know that you are not, were not, ever alone in the air.
(Pre-Chorus)
Aching for context, the grand design.
The threads are weaving, yours and mine.
Accept the weight, accept the strain.
In shared experience, we find the gain.
(Chorus)
WE ARE ETERNAL, we are connected!
From the cosmic dust, we were resurrected!
Shed the illusion, the separate "I".
Embrace the burden, let the ego die!
This is the vessel, the borrowed form!
In the collective consciousness, we weather the storm!
(Bridge)
Forged in the fire of shared pain...
Washed in the universal rain...
The Other is you... You are the Other...
We are not separate... We are not separate...
Open the heart, let the vision bleed through...
The boundary is breaking...
The boundary is broken...
(Outro)
Compassion... the only path.
