Beyond Us - Sandpeople

Yea, it’s like that «ah» moment, ya know?

I understand, though

Yeah, and those are proud words to say

When your eyes open wide and them clouds burn away

And you realize your environment’s an extension of you

When it all depends on whether you’re tuned in, so tune in

I’m human, that strong connection this grouped in

That plug is loosened, but I feel free

Life’s a gamble, so who’s in?

Really, I’m all in, till its conclusion, I’m still me

I live within the confines of this human body

But escape it through the music, don’t confuse it for a hobby

It’s a movement at the least, the proof is in the product

I’m truly on it, I grew from a seed into an artist

Yeah, it was a rough transition

And I’m still struggling, but what man isn’t

I draw upon everybody’s untapped wisdom

Delve into their mind, free 'em and come back with 'em

It’s beyond us

How can you separate life from dreams

Or trust what your eyes perceive

Anything that you or I believe is indefinite

And shouldn’t put your mind at ease

It’s beyond us

How can you separate life from dreams

Or trust what your eyes perceive

Anything that you or I believe is beautiful

So let it put your mind at ease

And those are proud words to say

When the sky opens wide and the ground starts to shake

And you realize the surroundings you perceive to be true

Are thrown off balance by the things you consume

The trees, the shrooms, pills, yay

That’s a night on tour for me

You can’t restore the faith it stole from me

Just like my paper, it’s runnin' low

But I ain’t broke, still got my soul and reasons to be thankful

Proceed from every angle to make moves and lead by example

But follow too close and all you’ll meet is your downfall

No meetings at town hall can unify the city

It’s the hatin' y’all doin' that divide us, really

Try and feel me, Thornburg

Grimy, filthy

Earthworm, grown fatter than an anaconda

And I conned you

Take it where you didn’t plan or want

From the pain that haunts you to way beyond

It’s beyond us

How can you separate life from dreams

Or trust what your eyes perceive

Anything that you or I believe is indefinite

And shouldn’t put your mind at ease

It’s beyond us

How can you separate life from dreams

Or trust what your eyes perceive

Anything that you or I believe is beautiful

So let it put your mind at ease

And those are proud words to say

When you shine this eclipse by lampshades of grey

And you realize

What you thought were once lies were sheer truth

So how you once walked the line is no longer by design

I took action when my axis was denied

In case of my absence, they buried the hatchet in my spine

So I strived to stay relevant and keep my skeleton in line

Exhale just to let go, as I inhale the West coast

At the same time, I’m grateful for the air I drink

I pay dues just to share my think

By way of old speak, no beef

Now may your stare turn blink

It’s written in blood, I don’t spare my ink, nope

So from this day forth, I’ma stay outspoken, dawg

Say no more

Given you shall receive, so I present this delivery

Until the day we take the world by storm

It’s beyond us

How can you separate life from dreams

Or trust what your eyes perceive

Anything that you or I believe is indefinite

And shouldn’t put your mind at ease

It’s beyond us

How can you separate life from dreams

Or trust what your eyes perceive

Anything that you or I believe is irrelevant

Yea, I get though, I mean, you got it all figured out

Right?

I know there’s something beyond us

Beyond that I don’t know much, nah

It’s beyond me, we all think like we got a grasp on things that won’t budge

So call it ignorance or call it ill fate

But if we stay oblivious then we feel safe

And we feel safe long as the bill’s paid

See no pain, no growth, and no real change
