The Blanket Truth - Jared Evan

Everyone I see around here, could they be people that I know?

And what if everything we found here

Was more than what we’ve been told?

I think we’ve waited too long, now it’s time to see the truth

It isn’t just me and you, and everything we thought we knew

On and on we go

We’re all holding onto this blanket we know

Maybe we should love more truly here

And you’ll see

There’s more to life because we belong to something

We’re strangers to each other

But closer than we think we are

It’s late at night and we’re dreaming here forever

So let’s just come together

Maybe, just maybe if we’re honest

We can see the truth and all of the reason-why shit

So many times I think of positions that I’m in

Like the time I dropped up outta college

Now I’m trying to fill my soul ain’t trying to fill my wallet

A freak and a geak, guess you can call me Childish

Looking for a road that’ll lead em back to my shit

And have the entire globe singing every word to my shit

On and on we go

We’re all holding onto this blanket we know

Maybe we should love more truly here

And you’ll see

There’s more to life because we belong to something

We’re strangers to each other

But closer than we think we are

It’s late at night and we’re dreaming here forever

So let’s just come together

There’s more to life because we belong to something

We’re strangers to each other

But closer than we think we are

It’s late at night and we’re dreaming here forever

So let’s just come together

See who we just really are

Say this blanket represents all the matter and energy in the universe

Ok, you, me, everything, nothing’s been left out

Right, all the particles and everything, exactly

This is everything, ok

Let’s just say, that this is me, right, and I’m what?

60 odd years old and wearing a grey suit, blah, blah, blah…

And let’s say over here, this is you, and you’re, I dunno?

You’re 21, you’ve got dark hair, etc…

And over here, this is the Eiffel Tower, right, this is Paris

And this is a war and this is a museum and this is a disease and this is an

orgasm and this is a hamburger

(Everything is the same even if it’s different?)

Exactly!

But our everyday mind forgets this, we think everything is separate, limited

I’m over here and you’re over there, which is true

But it’s not the whole truth

Because we’re all connected

Because we are connected

We need to learn how to see The Blanket Truth all the time
