Ease The Disease (Stop The C.T.D.) [Compulsive Thought Disorder]

I recall the first time
that I really watched my thoughts
I saw who I thought I was
saw who I was not
sitting cross-legged on the ground
I watched them all float by
and somewhere in that endless stream
I opened up my eye

and I realized
the thoughts I had weren't me
they just took all my attention
and my time and energy
I had to try to shut it down
I had to be free
I had to end the addiction
had to stop the C.T.D.
like this

inhale
watch your breath
if a thought floats by just let it go

exhale
watch your breath
come back to your breath

inhale
watch your breath
let the thoughts go by

exhale
watch your breath
just a little break is all it takes

inhale
watch your breath
you are not your thoughts

exhale
watch you breath
you are the observer

inhale
watch your breath
just breathe

exhale
watch your breath
ease the disease

not only were my thoughts not me
most weren't even mine
just a bunch of bad ideas
I'd collected over time
worries 'bout the future
and guilt about the past
I had to find my way back home
to here and now at last

a virus in your system
the thought loop never ends
it runs over and over
and over again
it's depression and anxiety
and every disease
gotta to end the addiction
gotta to stop the C.T.D.
do it with me

inhale
watch your breath
if a thought floats by just let it go

exhale
watch your breath
come back to your breath

inhale
watch your breath
let the thoughts go by

exhale
watch your breath
just a little break is all it takes

inhale
watch your breath
you are not your thoughts

exhale
watch you breath
you are the observer

inhale
watch your breath
just breathe

exhale
watch your breath
ease the disease

after I stopped my thoughts
I finally understood
they're the root of all evil
the potential for all good
every little thought we keep
creates reality
we're free to choose the thoughts we think
after the C.T.D.
we're free to choose the life we live
after the C.T.D.
ease the disease

inhale
watch your breath
if a thought floats by just let it go

exhale
watch your breath
come back to your breath

inhale
watch your breath
let the thoughts go by

exhale
watch your breath
just a little break is all it takes

inhale
watch your breath
you are not your thoughts

exhale
watch you breath
you are the observer

inhale
watch your breath
just breathe

exhale
watch your breath
ease the disease

inhale
watch your breath
if a thought floats by just let it go

exhale
watch your breath

inhale
watch your breath
come back to your breath

exhale
watch your breath

inhale
watch your breath
let the thoughts go by

exhale
watch your breath

inhale
watch your breath
just a little break is all it takes

exhale
watch your breath

inhale
watch your breath
you are not your thoughts

exhale
watch your breath

inhale
watch your breath
you are the observer

exhale
watch your breath

inhale
watch your breath
just breath

exhale
watch your breath

inhale
watch your breath
ease the disease

exhale
watch your breath

inhale
watch your breath
this is conscious breathing

exhale

inhale
watch your breath
this is meditation

exhale

inhale
watch your breath
you are here this is now

exhale

inhale
you are

exhale

inhale
just breath

exhale

inhale
ease the disease

exhale

inhale
just breath

exhale

inhale

exhale

I recall the first time
that I really watched my thoughts
I saw who I thought I was
saw who I was not
