lyrics

EQUANIMITY

When everything is broken--and crumbling,
Life's beyond control and tumbling,
Keep your head down--and eyes up
ever pushing on toward the end of the tunnel.

This constant motion, always on the run.
Earth spins on its axis, circling 'round the sun

Never give in to the chaos
That's all around
In my fortress, in my bubble,
Safe from the troubles that surround.

A hefty toll has been taken,
and a heavy burden has been borne.
The only goal was to survive,
never heeding words that warn.

Reclaim this life from
Years of endured strife.
Nothing ever remains,
only constant change.

Many mantras to repeat
to keep my soul steadfast:
"This, too, shall pass."
"Nothing ever lasts forever. Ever."

Meditate. Contemplate.
Don't you dare tempt fate.
Never deviate from the path.
