Standing on ground that isn’t actually there.

Stability in an unstable world is a state of mind,

A fragile illusion that lets you walk on air.

All obstacles are anthills at a bird’s eye view

Speak to voices that don’t exist, and ignore the ones you hear.

Don’t go looking for more and be wary of the ones that find you

The jabs, putdowns, the complaints are all down there

Feet callused through concentration, their words are merely splinters

to be stepped on and rubbed into that path you cannot share.

That path that’s not there

As long as you continue to walk forward,

the daggers cannot get you from behind.

Eat light, sleep deep

And drink only water or wine.

The real world, yeah its down there,

Full of distasteful distraction and many screaming splinters

There is no success to be found down there

Only here on the path that’s not there

There isn’t any better visibility up here

But there also aren’t any blasted walls

So what if it’s just an illusion in the air

Credit the resourcefulness of the human mind

There may always be potholes to send one plummeting to the world down there

But on this path, no one will ever fall behind.
