The Veil of Maya Video (MV)

I see God when I look at you
Pink and green, and a thousand blues
Oh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah
Spirit wrapped into human form
I believe we were meant for more
Oh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah

In the spirit, in the blue light
In the white light, in the halo
In the moonlight, in the sunlight
And it feels like a volcano

It's drippin' off my cheeks and I love it
I can see who I'm now becomin'
I spent three decades runnin'
Tryin' to shine, now I just chill and let the sun in
The Holy Spirit in a human form
You're just hidin' underneath a uniform
I fell pretty far, but made it through the storm
Now I got fame and peace, I'm a unicorn
I can feel my dad watchin' me
My life story is like prophecy
I just fear mediocrity
So much light inside, gotta get it outta me
And the journey's been intense
Sit back and light some incense
We don't know where we're goin'
But I do know my past led me to this moment, and

I see God when I look at you
Pink and green, and a thousand blues
Oh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah
Spirit wrapped into human form
I believe we were meant for more
Oh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah

In the spirit, in the blue light
In the white light, in the halo
In the moonlight, in the sunlight
And it feels like a volcano

The exciting thing is it's only the beginning
Second inning
The underpinnings of sadness have alchemized and crystallized into service
I still feel that horrible, existential, deep f*cking pain
Deep sadness
I just don't try to numb it anymore
I don't try to cover it up with drugs, or food, or sex, or fame anymore
I sit right there in the f*ckin' thick of it
And it's the courage to feel this
The sadness
It's that courage that makes me who I am
It's what allowed me to write this
It's what makes me a deeper, more real man
It's what allows me to connect with you right now
And all I really wanna say to you is I love you
And by you, I don't mean some person from my past or my future
I mean you, you
I know we haven't met
But in some ways, we know each other very, very well
Because you know that horrible, existential, deep pain just as well as I do
And I just wanna remind you what I need to remind myself

I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love
I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love
I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love
I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love
I see, hear, feel, and know your purpose is to give to love
You have fallen so many goddamn times, but get up
Get up

Sometimes the thing that hurts the most is just how much love you have inside you
You feel like you don't always have a place to put it
You don't know what to do with it
You think that people around you won't appreciate it
So you pretend like you don't have the love, and it gets stuck inside you
And love is like water
When it doesn't flow, it gets rancid and turns to poison
It turns to poison
It turns to anger, resentment, and hate
And if you're really honest with yourself
Your hate is really just love that you didn't express
You got scared
You got scared that if you actually gave all the love you had, that it might run out
You got scared that maybe your love wouldn't be received, and it would go to waste
So you throttled down the amount of love you were giving
To match the amount of love you thought you were getting
But come home, silly
You could never run out
And your purpose is not to get love
Your purpose is to give love
I wish you could see yourself right now
Struggling and thriving at the same time
You beautiful thing
I wish you could see how beautiful you are
Go shine
Being who you are will bring great peace to many others
Go

Go
