Lyrics

Cosmosis
 Let's talk about the science
 Of how things break
 How the heart breaks
 How the age founders, shatters
 With no one listening
 How the mind quakes
 How we lose all that matters
 Oh, the music of the bones
 Music of siege and white stones
 Let's talk about the art of how things break
 Things that were hard to make
 Things like peace, and love, and need
 How the nations shake
 How the good is lost to the fake
 Oh, brief change by osmosis
 Change and the music of cosmosis
 But Sufis sing about the music of how things turn
 Things the other ones want to bury or burn
 Things like unity, friendship, relativity
 Things that when dead, we'll mourn
 How the music runs in a stream
 How can we in these troubled times dream?
 Oh there are spirits dancing in the slipstream
 Howl and fire in the drum dream
 Yeah, she was looking for a prince
 Oh now she's hitting the road
 She tried kissing a frog
 Oh, now she's licking a toad
 Spiritual girl, she's got a story to tell
 She taught me to love myself, forget everyone else
 Forget and I forgive, I don't give it attention
 How you feel about me, uh, it's just a reflection
 I'm out of my ego, I'm back into space
 Hold me in your arms and feel the connection
 Cosmosis
 Cosmosis
 Yeah, man
 The present moment began with fire
 And still, it burns
 (Cosmosis)
 The present moment began with fire
 And still, it burns
 (Yeah)
 It began with water
 (Cosmosis)
 And still, they drown
 And still, they drown
 (Yeah man)
 On the margins of Europe
 ♪
 The present moment began with fire
 And still, it burns
 The present moment began with fire
 And still, it burns
 It began with water
 And still, they drown
 Still, they drown
 It began with air, see how the bombs fall
 On houses made of sand
 Dreams made of flesh
 She was looking for a prince
 Oh now she's hitting the road
 She tried kissing a frog
 Oh now she's licking a toad
 Spiritual girl, she's got a story to tell
 She taught me to love myself, forget everyone else
 Forget and I forgive, I don't give it attention
 How you feel about me? Uh, it's just a reflection
 I'm out of my ego, I'm back into space
 Hold me in your arms and feel the connection
 Yeah
 The world's going to change because cosmosis
 Check it out
 When will this story of our nation
 Change and shine?
