Universal Roots

I've got the blood under my nails from scratching
Scratching the peels from my heart
The heart that's drowning in sorrow
For that's all I am right now

The longing for something that's calling me
Something that holds the insights
The insights that reveal the true outside
See the outside inside out

I miss you, but I don't know who you are
I miss you, show yourself to me
I want to go back
Back to the world without a body
To my universal roots

What's wrong, what's wrong with me
I can sense you
But even more I can sense your absence
It's like being born without my mother

Was there a reason to send me away
Down here to learn from my pains
To swallow shit and my pride
Forgiven, but punished all the same

If you only knew
There's so much I want to tell
I almost lost my sanity to rationality

Can I be completely with you when I live

I miss you, but I don't know who you are
I miss you, show yourself to me
I want to go back
Back to the world without a body
To my universal roots

What's wrong, what's wrong with me
I can sense you
But even more I can sense your absence
It's like being born without my mother
