lyrics

Standing on the shore,
twilight in Tofino.
The heavens unfold
to your eye as never before.
You forget every name,
with them goes the weight.
All your guilt and your shame,
at long last, it falls away.

Waves roll in
Reducing every wall to rubble
Rejoicing! Left with…

no words to describe
the sight of infinite skies.
No more press of time,
eons of light, reflect within your eye.
Could we ever confess
to the limits of our languages?
All we can never express,
left awestruck by this boundlessness.

Waves roll in
Reducing walls to rubble
Rejoicing! Left with
the world turning
Yet for once you are untroubled
Little monkey popped outside the bubble
Left with no label.

No label, awake in the miracle, no label.

Such a lonesome phenomenon,
just how bad we all want to belong.
Yet all we become
is another mindless automaton.
So choose to reject
the whiplashes of next, next, next,
all the games of “to want’ and ‘to get’,
the fear of failure, clawing for success.

Waves roll in
Reducing walls to rubble
Rejoicing! Left with
the world turning
Yet for once you are untroubled
Little monkey popped outside the bubble
Left with no label.
