The Lifting

Grounded 5 a.m., the night life is comforting,

But gravity is holding you

Once settled into sleep

You have watched

On repeat the story of your life

Across the ceiling

And in review

You said the air was singing

It's calling you, you don't believe

These things you've never seen.

Good morning, how are you?

The weather's fine

The sky is blue

It's perfect for our seminar.

Close your eyes and start to breathe

Allow the noise to recede

You just stay

You said the air was singing

It's calling you, you don't believe

These things you've never seen

Never heard.

Did you hear these ?

Did you hear these voices

Did you hear these voices calling you

Locked into a conference room

We're only what our minds assume

And rationale is leaving you.

This conceit these systems of

I believe your counselor agrees you

Always mark these boundaries now you're free

And with relief.

You said the air was singing

It's calling you, you don't believe

These things you've never seen

Never heard, never dreamed.

You said the air was singing

It's calling you, you don't believe

These things you've never seen

Never heard, never dreamed.

Never (x17)

Once you had a dream

Of oceans and sunken cities

Memories of things you've never known

And you have left alone.
