Anata - Leaving The Spirit Behind Lyrics

Did you ever feel it's like you're hanging over an abyss?
Your hands are tied, you can't break loose
You're still hanging only because your teeth
Have grasped the outermost twig of life

The only that keeps you from falling
Is that you keep your teeth clenched
Your body can struggle but you just can't scream
You know you'd be crushed hitting the floor of reality
You suffer on and feel soon you're about to give in

Do you assume a reality existing without our perception
I don't believe it is so
The notion of reality is just a conception
Created by senses and mind leaving the spirits behind

If you view reality
As existing without the persistence of minds
Then keeping teeth clenched may be what is right
But if reality is created by you
Realize this image can also be modified

I'm speaking of bringing the ground closer to your feet
Reducing the distance between you and reality perceived
Let go and land in this image of your consciousness
Ready to reconstruct

Do you assume a reality existing without our perception
I don't believe it is so
The notion of reality is just a conception
Created by senses and mind leaving the spirits behind
