lyrics

All these lonely Lights
Dazzle with me into the Night
Can I feel my Eyes pulsing?
Is the Earth breathing right with Me?

Do I want to be adrift? Do I need a second Wind?
Is my Camera obscured? My View is sfumato for sure..

Diving into the Hours of morning feeling like a Daydream A Walk through the Coast Break

Will I ever be free?
Will I ever be me?
Do I want to hold on?
Is my Body gone?

Sunlight give a ring
Seeing Eyes in everything
Every Word a Metaphor
Sounding contrived more and more

Can I be free?
Can I be me?
Can I hold on?
Am I gone?

I won't acquiesce, a Life obsessed with cosmic Healing.
You can lose yourself and be possessed by what you're feeling.
And you're dripping down and flowing into what you once were.
Your old Lullabies come pouring out, and swimming all around.

On the dancing Greens, I can feel your Energy.
The Synapses don't connect, and we're losing our Intent.
You'll still be the same Person today.
Unless you decide you want to change.

But be aware, don't meet yourself there.
You don't need to fall to break your fourth Wall.

I'm running out of Time
I won't see the Divine
The frame removed is slowly setting
The tuned that played is quickly fading
Was it just like I was sleeping?
The noises start to blur
Not sure of what you heard

But my Mind
Void of Word
Body weighed down by Earth
succumbed to midday
Silence
I must sleep
on this Sand
to delight on Star's Wine
as I see Shade you became
