The perfect way is without difficulty
Save that it avoids picking and choosing
Only when you stop liking and disliking
Will all be clearly understood
Then heaven and earth will split apart
If you want to get to the truth be not
Concerned with right and wrong
This is the conflict
Between right and wrong is the sickness of the mind
One day I wiped out all the thoughts and notions from my mind
I gave up all forms of desire which I had known
I spoke but my words had lost all meaning
No longer was there need for assumptions
No longer was my reality conformed to any idea
My cup had become empty

Do you like yourself? Do you know who you are?
Do you live in the light? Do you live in the dark?
Do you hope for life? Do you see it end?
Do you face the facts? Do you still pretend?
Do you assert yourself? Do you follow behind?
Do you enjoy life? Do you not have time?
Do you live in the streets? Do you live in a home?
Do you have enough friends? Do you feel alone?
They’ve locked you in the engine room
Do you know yourself? Do you wonder how?
Do you live in the past? Do you live in the now?
Do you sleep on a bed? Do you sleep on the floor?
Do you have enough? Do you still want more?
Do you believe yourself? Do you seek for the truth?
Do you long to be old? Do you long for your youth?
Do you dance through life? Do you carry a load?
Do you conceal your wealth? Do you have none to hold?
They’ve locked you in the engine room
