Nahko And Medicine For The People - Ghosts Embodied lyrics

Well I'd like to be enjoying the height of a giant Or the will of a great chief's son But I'm somewhere in the middle, with my feet slippin' off the pedals I'm a two-legged, bent at wounded knee And my silence turned to thoughts, am I in constant disbelief I exist personified as the truth Do I live life like a thief, or am I just reading energy That which I teach, through my teeth becomes what I preach Oh I sure would like to live without the burden of commitment Not attached to any person, place or thing But it's such a heavy load to carry nowhere alone I am hopeful but tiring Because some of us are ghost embodied Like a face or a figure in the flesh What you saw was a reflection of a moment It was never really ever there It was never really ever there Well I sure would like to thrust all my shadows to the dust Or purify and may justice be served Such an old man for a young man, understanding what he can Of a blessing and of a curse I'm a ghost taking a form, a very temporary form May it be uncommonly found in a grove I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings And I know I don't seek this alone Yes, I know I don't seek this alone Because some of us are ghost embodied Like a face or a figure in the flesh What you saw was a reflection of a moment It was never really ever there It was never really ever there Well I'd like to set afoot, and have myself a look Round the bend of the great red road I would offer up a pipe, for the chorus for my life With the guidance and wisdom to know That Some of us are ghost embodied Like a face or a figure in the flesh What you saw was a reflection of a moment It was never really ever there It was never really ever there I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings And I know I don't seek this alone I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings And I know I don't seek this alone
