about

I imagined this song sung by the more long-term ghosts (Vollman, Bevins, etc.) to Willie soon after meeting him for the first time.

lyrics

Bardo Cons
(©2019 Anders/O’Bitz)

Beauty filled
They’ll shake you
A fake bliss willed
On your mind

Songs of love
They’ll take you
No signs of life
Beyond time

Old life is gone now
Let’s keep you home
My life was said to be mine
I see your new life won’t keep you home
Here in time

Freedom filled
They’ll make you
The con is willed
On your mind

Songs of light
Forsake you
Can you fight
Out of time

Old life is gone now
Let’s keep you home
My life was said to be mine
I see your new life won’t keep you home
Here in time
Here in time

Our love is here and it will find you
You can’t escape it in time
Our love is here to remind you
Where you must go out of time

Oh, they won’t take you
Oh out of time
Oh I want to help you
Stay a while
Want to help you
Stay a while
Want to help you
Stay … I want to help you
Stay … I want to help you
