You have a body and a mind.
Who has a body and a mind?
You do.
Meaning: The Real You is neither.
The Real You is the Watcher.
Welcome to The Cutter's den.
Death to the king.
lyrics
I walked into the Cutter's den
Not a Ferris Wheel in sight
Heart in my throat, and then
He gave me the biggest fright
"You've got a body and a mind
Time to leave them both behind
You've got a body and a mind
Neither is you"
He poked his finger at my chest
He said, "Is that a space-dye vest?"
Then he tore it off of me
Just so I could truly see
Outer circumstance
Just another dance
So I sat beside this man
That's when the end began
Closed eyes and watch your breath
Time to witness ego's death
Outer circumstance
Just another dance
Where we can finally see
What we might truly be
I walked into the Cutter's den
Not a Ferris Wheel in sight
Heart in my throat, and then
He gave me the biggest fright
You've got a body and a mind
Time to kiss them both goodbye
You've got a body and a mind
Time to leave them both behind
