Lyrics

Stop running.
You're already there.
The past is a ghost. 
The future is a lie.
Everything you need... 
Is right here.

My mind's a time machine, trying to escape the now
Searching for the when and wondering 'bout the how
Anxiety's a tax on a future not yet born
Regret's a heavy coat that's already been torn
The system wants me chasing, looking 'round the bend
Waiting for the payday, waiting for the end
But while I'm looking forward, I'm missing the gold
Of the breath in my lungs, of the truth I can hold
They sell you the someday so you don't see the this
The presence in the moment is the only thing they miss
I'm dropping the luggage, I'm dropping the weight
I'm resigning from the hustle, I'm deleting the date.

There's nowhere else to go, there's nowhere else to be
The center of the moment is the only place I'm free
The paper can burn and the world can go cold
But the now is a treasure that can never be sold
Nowhere else. 
Right here. 
Nowhere else. 
Stay clear.
I'm the master of the minute, I'm the lord of the now
The only time is this, and I'm taking the bow.

Look at the hand, look at the light on the wall
In this tiny second, I've got it fucking all
No regulation on the way that I feel
The presence is the only thing that's actually real
The algorithm hates it when you settle in your skin
Because there's no room for the noise to get in
I'm not getting there, I'm already at the source
I'm the river and the mountain and the elemental force
Total celebration of the simple and the plain
The sun on the concrete, the rhythm of the rain
If you're not in the moment, then you're just a machine
Living out a life on a digital screen.

Listen.
The silence between the beats.
That's where the power is.
Not in the next track. 
Not in the next year.
Don't wait to be happy. 
Don't wait to be great.
The juice is flowing right now. 
Taste it.
Be total. 
Nowhere else.

There's nowhere else to go, there's nowhere else to be
The center of the moment is the only place I'm free
The paper can burn and the world can go cold
But the now is a treasure that can never be sold
Nowhere else. 
Right here. 
Nowhere else. 
Stay clear.
I'm the master of the minute, I'm the lord of the now
The only time is this, and I'm taking the bow.

No past.
No future.
Only this.
Sovereign in the present.
Deva Nataraj.
The dance is... 
Now.
