Mourner's Dance - Devendra Banhart

The early writings show the sequence of the dance

The individual awakens and expands

I looked into the room

And saw the dance resume

Between the origins

Between the dawn

Learn to identify the blossom in plain view

It will consume your body when the dance is through

There is no real you, there is only ever you

There is no real you, there is only ever you

I looked into the verse

And saw the dance disperse

Between the images

Between the lines

Only the true disciple activates the word

It must be understood before it can be heard

The parting song, ever in our hearts

The parting song, ever in our hearts

The mourners' dance begins

When we remember them

The mourners' dance is through

When we remember you

We remember you

We remember you

We remember you

We remember you

We remember you

We remember you

We remember you

We remember you

We remember you
