Self-Imposed Songtext
von Absurd Minds

What you see is nothing but yourself
What you see is nothing but yourself
Food for mouth destiny
Enlightening pictures on the screen
It′s self-selected, self-imposed
It's self-selected, self-imposed

All happens in consciousness
All happens in consciousness
When you look at anything
It′s the ultimate you see
The ultimate you think you see
A stone, a cloud or a tree

A stone, a cloud or a tree

A stone, a cloud or a tree


Hungry, thirsty, longing, searching and ceasing
Holding, losing and suffering, all your going and coming
Seeking pleasure, loving and hating, all this shows
You don't know the source
You were not born, they told you a lie
It's just an idea that was born and shall die
Cognition hurts me, they told me a lie
It′s just an idea that was born and shall die

On realization you feel complete
Free from the pleasure-pain complex
On realization you feel complete

Free from the pleasure-pain complex
Pain and pleasure go together
Freedom from one is freedom from both
Pain and pleasure go together
Freedom from one is freedom from both
On realization you feel complete
Free from the pleasure-pain complex
On realization you feel complete
Free from the pleasure-pain complex

Pain and pleasure go together
Freedom from one is freedom from both
Pain and pleasure go together
Freedom from one is freedom from both


Hungry, thirsty, longing, searching and ceasing
Holding, losing and suffering, all your going and coming
Seeking pleasure, loving and hating, all this shows
You don′t know the source
You were not born, they told you a lie
It's just an idea that was born and shall die
Cognition hurts me, they told me a lie
It′s just an idea that was born and shall die
