Tao of Now Lyrics

[Esthero]
You are the divine reflection of this earth
She does not belong to you
No, there is no need for your correction
All rivers run in the same direction


[Saul Williams] + (Esthero)
If you're serving the father, there's no son without mother
Parent bodies discover, water bodies and drown
Wade me in the water 'till Atlantis is found
On the sea floors of self I'm starfish and unbound
Heard that name of that mound is stone mountain
Underwater volcanoes erupt water fountains of youth
Let's us carnal the equation, cancel out wind and truth
Swirl me beyond sometimes, drench me water proof
Let eve drop forever rain sunsets on my roof..
As I, sit on the front porch of my sanity
Deciphering ham bones, to "Van Gogh" this vanity

Oiled egos canvased and framed
To be, reborn unborn, unburied unnamed
(Is it a monster living, it's in the voice of children, now..
It is the tao of now)
A reflection through a blood stained glass window
Of souls gone yellow around the edges
Carbonated dreams and blurred daily lives
But let family bring focus
Out of swamps blossom lotus
The muddy water blue daughters of infinity
Gravity we water bodied Bodhisattva our serenity
As we rise with the tides toward divinity
Yes, we rise with the tides towards divinity
The muddy water blue daughters of infinity
Gravity we water bodied Bodhisattva our serenity
As we rise with the tides toward divinity
Yes, we rise with the tides towards divinity
Yes, we rise with the tides towards divinity
Now, we rise with the tides towards divinity
And we rise with the tides towards divinity
Cause we rise with the tides towards divinity
