Drowning in the Sane by We Are Overlap

When I was younger I always dreamt of another world to live in. A world with no wars or fighting, with more music, unity and hugs.

I grew into the system and it slowly drained, numbed and killed me.

I struggled and suffered because I didn't get this 'society' or fit in to any accepted norm. I felt insane. Lost. Disconnected.

Only through unlearning, observing, clarity, trauma, and dis-ease was I shaken to the core of my soul, finally realizing that the world is created anew in each moment, So you do it your own way. You do what you love and the world loves you back.

We step out of the constraints of 'normal', and just BE.

From birth we are taught the definition of sanity. We are drowning in the definitions of what it means to be alive. The definitions are not what they describe.

So, we are lost in words rather than living our true selves.

We call this sanity society, yet when one looks it is easily seen that society is not at all sane. Every raindrop is diverse, yet every raindrop is the whole, never separate from its source. Although the individual is living it is not separate from the flow.

But this is not what we are taught and therefore we feel isolated. We feel afraid and therefore angry. This is what births conflict. Just see you've never left home, nor has anyone else. Thanks for being in our music family.

Stay strong.

A drop from the ocean

Set it all in motion

As Canyons are carved

By the falling rain

I never felt the pain

In the sound sane

As water flows home

In the secrets of my mind

Never alone

Eternally one

It wasn’t just for fun

As lightning strikes the sky

And laughs without a reason

Without a reason

I’m always drowning in the sane

Drowning in the rain

Drowning in the same

Without a reason

Tears they fall like rain from the heart

Tears they fall

Creating all this art

Tears of love

Tears of joy

Tears of pain

Tears of rain

A drop from the ocean

Set it all in motion

As stories are scribed

By the falling rain

I never felt the pain

In the sound sane

As water flows home

In the secrets of my mind
