Broken water pail -
No moon in the water,
Try to hold it now.

So
I want to hold on
Reflection's all gone,
No ego - so.

Broken water pail -
No moon in the water,
Try to hold it now,
Broken water pail,
Hold me in the moment,
No more ego now.

I would
Drink the dregs of daylight,
Break the bread of consciousness
And dream:
Dream day for night,
Nightfall around us,
Waking, dreaming,
Awake to the dream.

Broken water pail -
No moon in the water,
Try to hold it now,
Hold me in the moment,
No more ego now,
No moon in the water,
No more ego now.
