All the Other Actors

from Fantasy EP by Time Baby

lyrics

The stations set before us
Don’t forget that they’re a tool
Once you’ve crossed the river
The raft’s no longer useful
The monk departs his Cadillac
With the prostitute he’s hired
If attachment is needfulness
Enlightenment's the freedom to desire

What good is a savior
Who neglects the despised?
Why learn to see in darkness
And never leave the light?
We’ve built these towers up so far
That now they touch the sky
And even if we’ve lost our words
We can connect here tonight
And crawl out of this gutter together

All the other actors
Play out reincarnations
As if the pathway to Nirvana
Were paved with aspirations
Guilt will only save us
If we know when to ignore it
Our only hope for transformation
Is to learn when to deplore it

What good is a savior
Who neglects the despised?
Why learn to see in darkness
And never leave the light?
We’ve built these towers up so far
That now they touch the sky
And even if we’ve lost our words
We can connect here tonight
And crawl out of this gutter together
