Avidya and the Kleshas This I Know Nothing Lyrics Avidya And The Kleshas lyrics

i

It's cold but there's a light a burn a bright light always blazing inside

It's dark but there's a light a burn a bright light -

that's all there is

that's all we are

I light a match, I fight the switch, I grind on broken mirrors

clean up / weep, clean up / grieve / clean up, breathe

I'm tuning in and tuning out, I choose all my own tunings

this I know

I don't know anything

ii

I'm sure that there's a light a burn a bright light

ablaze inside of him (even if he don't yet know)

I'm sure the rose can bloom inside his cavern, in his cage

this I know

I don't know anything

His love earned the title of god but like all idols


he failed me – he was ordinary

I'm sure his love was pure, I'm sure his eyes were blue

I'm sure of what – I never knew him at all

iii

It's hard, she falls apart, but there's a mirror that she's holding –

it is shimmering inside

and all her broken plans, her broken man, the broken

show her sacred shadows that she's been avoiding

Them ripples in her pond distort the image she reflected on her body,

Her sweatshop spins like turnstiles, she never said consent

to the invasion of her wisdom

the mutilation of her freedom

the creation of a victim inside her head

Cry into the sun

Lie under the sun

Die under the sun
