You - Jerry Paper

What happens when you’re nude?

When you’re stripped down to your skin?

What’s left of the You you’ve built?

Just some memories and some dreams

What’s there when you forget?

When you’re stripped down to your core?

What’s left of the You that is grown in you?

A simple spectator to your thoughts

I can feel the world is lost

And I don’t know at what cost

But if we stop the worship of Self

Then maybe love hasn’t lost

Acknowledge you are small

A narrow view from one body

In this big old crowded world

You can’t possibly know it all

Selfhood is the wall between

You and me so let’s knock it down

There ain’t no conversation

If you’re so fucking sure that you’re right

I can feel the world is lost

And I don’t know at what cost

But if we stop the worship of Self

Then maybe love hasn’t lost
