Empty your mind, be formless… shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend…”


I Pace
No I’m not schizophrenic
I not Paranoid
I don’t need medicine
I’m just as normal as you
I pace

When I was born I was curious as a cat
Mom says I cried frequently as a baby
I believe her
It was probably because I couldn’t pace

It’s as if my body mimics my thoughts
Both are constantly in motion
My body is a machine
My mind is like its infinite source of energy
I pace

My mind can take me anywhere; can make me do anything,
But it’s o’ but so much my body can do
So I pace
This reminds me the difference between the two worlds I live in

The way my mind keeps going you would think I’m crazy
The way my body keeps moving you would think I’m having a baby

It’s ironic when music is on my mind
My body moves like a metronome
I walk in full circles
But I’m not thinking about birth & death
I pace

The day I can’t pace
Is the day I can’t think
The day I can’t think is the day that I die
I can’t fathom thought of that happening
But that will never happen
Because God is good

No I’m not schizophrenic
I not Paranoid
I don’t need medicine
I’m just as normal as you
I pace
