BUDDHA STOLE MY FLIP FLOPS

Buddha Stole my Flip Flops is a rough, uneditted compilation of random babbles from random excursions, experiences, moments of clarity, drunken stupors and everything in between:

Let loose your inhibitions

What a random week, from mama's couch
to covered Boston Whalers on the Balboa Peninsula
To Penthouses at The Palms and unhostile hostel takeovers
from late arrivals and no place to call home, content.

I shook the hand of my childhood idol and learned in Vegas
that he's been having a problem with painkillers
Arn says that Craig Kelly had this peace about him
and Jamie has it too so the conclusion strewn is that

When You spend enough time in the trees you reach a certain nirvana
I need to ride, I need to shred for my mind's sake
Bag the park and bag the image, feed the soul
Let loose the inhibitions and viral attachments you hold

My buddy Ben says that if you surround yourself with Bums
You Become one. And I say surround yourself with everyone
IE good people and see the good qualities in them
8 habits of the heart you will be read and homeless kids in my neighborhood you will be fed

Now I know your education has got you racin from one step to the next
you get a degree then a job to pay back the debt
but free your mind my friend free your soul.
Let loose the inhibitions and viral attachments you hold

Constantly weighing ourselves down with the drudgeries of Self image bullshit
and insecure ambitions. No longer shall we reach for the stars
they are simply too far. They're not there for us to reach out and touch
but rather a means for us to aspire, join forces and build each other up.

See if you were to reach out your arm as far as it will go
Until it feels as though the bones will somehow explode
through those little swivels that you call your own
you'll have blood on your hands and a loose hold at your feet

You will fall. Unless your clever enough to have somebody step in beneath
and so on and so forth until you've reached the heavens and celestial spheres
On the backs of others, only to find yourself alone at the top
looking down on all those you've stopped

Realizing what you've done, is preposterous like leaving leftovers to rot
so friends I implore you, take a look at the company you keep
are you strengthening ties through cross communal techniques
or are you merely reaching for the sky with good people beneath?

This is not my vision for truth
c'est personne et tout le monde
You cannot own truth
so in jest everything you own, is false.

Even the notion of you, see there is no you and there is no us
we are but one; one heart, one pulse, and one love
Yet apart by mental seperation
It is all in your mind

Speaking of which, I need to ride
I need to shred for my mind's sake
bag the park and bag the image feed your soul
let loose the inhibitions and viral attachments that you hold.
