The Blanket Truth

Everyone I see around here

Could they be people that I know?

And what if everything we found here

Was more than what we've been told?

I think we waited too long

Now it's time to see the truth

It isn't just me and you

And everything we thought we knew

On and on we go

We're all holding on to this blanket we know

Maybe we should live more truly here

And you'll see

There's more to life

Because we belong to something

We're strangers to each other

But closer than we think we are

It's late at night

And we're dreaming here forever

So let's just come together

Maybe, just maybe if we're honest

We can see the truth and all of the reason why shit

So many times I think of positions that I'm in

Like the time I dropped up out of college

Now I'm tryna fill my soul and tryna fill my wallet

A freak and a geek, guess you could call me childish

Looking for a road that'll lead 'em back to my shit

And have the entire globe singing every word to my shit

On and on we go

We're all holding on to this blanket we know

Maybe we should live more truly here

And you'll see

There's more to life

Because we belong to something

We're strangers to each other

But closer than we think we are

It's late at night

And we're dreaming here forever

So let's just come together

There's more to life

Because we belong to something

We're strangers to each other

But closer than we think we are

It's late at night

And we're dreaming here forever

So let's just come together

See who we just really are

Say this blanket represents all the

Matter and energy in the universe, okay?

You, me, everything

Nothing's been left out, alright?

All the particles, everything, exactly, this is everything, okay?

Let's just say that this is me, right?

And I'm, what, sixty-odd years old and

Wearing a grey suit, blah, blah, blah

And let's say over here, this is you

And you're, I don't know, you're twenty-

One, you've got dark hair, etcetera

And over here, this is the Eiffel Tower, right?

It's Paris

And this is a war, and this is a museum

And this is a disease, and this is an orgasm

And this is a hamburger

Everything is the same, even if it's different

Exactly, but everyday mind forgets this

We think everything is separate, limited

"I'm over here and you're over there"

Which is true, but it's not the whole truth

Because we're all connected

Because we are connected

We need to learn how to see the blanket truth all the time
