Lyrics
[Verse]
Sit down
I fold my hands and let the world go quiet
Counting breaths like soldiers counting wounds
Them thoughts keep marching in
I don't salute them anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch them rise
Watch them fall away
Let them pass like weather
[Chorus]
This is how it works
Just sit
Just breathe
You don't chase the river you become the stone
This is how it works
Just sit
Just breathe
The mind gets loud but I don't have to go
[Post-Chorus]
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Let it go
[Verse 2]
My spine a pillar
My eyes half-closed and staring at the wall
Some days I fail for hours
Some days the silence holds me like a friend
Then it breaks
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch it rise
Watch it fall away
Nothing here to fight
[Chorus]
This is how it works
Just sit
Just breathe
You don't chase the river you become the stone
This is how it works
Just sit
Just breathe
The mind gets loud but I don't have to go
[Bridge]
Sit still
Sit still
The ache won't kill you
Sit still
The ache won't kill you
Nothing to attain
Nowhere left to run
[Breakdown]
Zazen
Zazen
Sit and see
Zazen
Zazen
Nothing to become
[Chorus]
This is how it works
Just sit
Just breathe
You don't chase the river you become the stone
This is how it works
Just sit
Just breathe
The mind gets loud but I don't have to go
[Post-Chorus]
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
