about

A bohemian rhapsody styled operatic piece that exploits the jazz/rock infused ideas that float in the minds ear. This song is written from the lover to lover self about meditation.

lyrics

“Just Because You’re There”

VERSE 1:
And you seeeee / Singed ya’ bubble / Oh yeah, like a terrible dream / That only you know /
Ya’ don’t even wash yourself from ya’ pain / Honor would die and upset you soul / Tell you to grow I just can’t watch / Only your mind has some trouble relating / Everything’s oh so mean it’s violent / All that ya’ heard / Everyday walking / Freeing the notes from a string in your head / One in the same / Now that you’re talking, don’t you see -e- yeah / All that I hurt / Especially in us / Baby you’ve always set a flame on me / All that I’ll be / With deficits squawking / Knowledge that’s lost so deep indeed.
PRE-CHORUS :
Tossed your weakness in the fire / And what you’ve attained / So many people had to fight for / Till you turn on your light / Eternal flames /
CHORUS :
From your soul / I hear Quan yin crying / Someone knows / What you’re sobbing for /
I can see your face / Through your hearts door / And it makes for a life / Of general gratitude / And it’s so you know / it’s just because you’re there .
VERSE 2:
Teacher preached, virtuous noise / Conditioned your mind / Since you were nine/ Kept screaming sorry, -e-yeah / All of your hurts, as deaf as a bird / What you’ve seen / I told you was wrong / Who would deserve / That cup of bleak / Therefore to judge yourself as guilty.
The moment you touch / All types of dirt / Lessons from karma to follow you around / Be inundated / But follow this light / Learn to atone your oppression in vain / Someday I’ll know / But hurry it up / Only one person yells out your wrong (just me) / You grow this way / But that wasn’t right / Until you move in the heights of the divine /
PRE-CHORUS :
Trudge on my soul / To where time is gone / And nobody goes / And when you turn on your light / Eternal blaze
CHORUS :

From your soul / I hear Quan Yin crying / Someone who knows / What your spirts sobbing for / I can see your face / Through your hearts door.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK :
What I said to you / Might have injured you / Never meant to / Sometimes I feel so cruel /
It’s a privilege to / Just to sit with you / Spending quality time / Sometimes I make things so hard After my crimes / As I realized / It is verified / We were soulmates from the start /
(Singed ya bubble / Please Ignore hopelessness Please)
Just because you’re there , 2x Just because / 4x full
Just because you’re there , Just because you’re there, Just because .......
YOU.
