Every night to let go
Of every rage and thwarted move
Every past and future thing, which gather to oppress
They keep us awake, like drunks in the street
So every night to let go
Of every dream conceived
Every hope caressed, this longing game
Which makes a mere corridor of today, no place in itself
So every night to let go
Of each secret plan
So hid from view, we hardly knew
Growing in the shadows, though rather taking over
Like bind weed in the soul
So every night to let go
Of every claim, every right
Every wrong and rotten luck
Every grievance, every ‘why?’
We won’t stir the pot, we’ll empty it
We’ll empty it tonight, empty it out
And every night to let go
An empty beach, a stretch of sand
With energy for all things
Enslavement to none
