You said
You said "Go ahead"
I said "I can't
Until I get out of bed"
You saw
You saw something fall
I saw something upside down
Rising, rising, rising
Space was safe
At least it seemed
So important, how absurd
Because "safe" is just a dirty word
You glow
You glow and light knows
'Cause light knows
Yeah, light knows everything
But I've found
Yes, I've found it incomplete
Without sound I found
How blind I was, I was
Space was safe
At least it seemed
So important, how absurd
Because "safe" is just a dirty word
You said
You said "Go ahead"
You saw
You saw something fall
You glow
You glow and light knows
But I've found
Yes, I've found it incomplete

You Know the Feeling
01:57

You know the feeling when you're flying
It's appealing 'til you're thinking
That you're falling and dying
It only happens to the dreaming mind
Are you the dreaming kind
Or just blindly trusting your sense of time?
Other than any other leaf or flower
Of any color, it's now forever
Can you discern before the leaves turn?
Why can't we see?
Why must we merely believe?
Tell me please, is there anything
More important than everything?
You know the feeling of defeat
When you are looking, though
Is it really looking, though
When you think about it?
No matter whether you are ending or beginning
The dark in your eyes projects capacity
For some kinds of light
Isn't it closer to real
When what we're thinking
What we're feeling entwines casually
Projected into space combined?
How 'bout we feel what we feel
Instead (of) remembering all those other times?
And by the way how are you feeling now?

Because There Are Things
03:02

There is only a future
Because there are things
You haven't yet
You haven't yet noticed
And there is only a past
Because there are things
You have not yet
You have not yet forgotten
And there is only a dream
'Cause there is only a dream
There is only fear
Because there are things
You do not yet
You do not yet understand
And there is only logic
Because there are things
That happen after other things
And because there are things
That happen before things
And then the things all sing
'Cause there is only a dream
But there is only nonsense
'Cause there is only nonsense

Soon
Your wait will be over
Soon
You'll forget you were waiting
Fortunately
I just takes a moment
To be free
Fortunately
You've just got to get over
Get over that little thing
We all call "me"
Call me
Soon
It'll be common knowledge
Soon
Not a soul left wondering
Fortunately
You don't have to know anything
To breathe
Fortunately
I can feel you breathing
Very close to me

Role Reversal

I want to be your lantern
Would you please be my kite?
Would you ride aloft
On the cold dark wind?
Would you remember?
I want to be your onion
Would you please be my oil?
Would you transmit my flavor?
And bring my juices to a boil?
Well you shine twice as bright
In the infrared
As you do in visible light
Would you like to glide
Like the kite you are
In the dark
So far up and away?
I want to be your secret
Would you please spread the word?
Would you recognize your old mistakes
If you saw them in the mirror?
I can see you at night
Just as well as I can
In the day
You might mistake me for a human
(So much) more to see
Than to say
Would you be my lantern
Could I please be your kite?
Would you reel me in
From the cold dark wind
Could I warm my wings by your light?
I can see you at night
Just as well as I can
In the day
You might mistake me for a human
(So much) more to see
Than to say

Be what you are
Which is tiny and strong
Don't ever hesitate to get it wrong
You can take it
Be what you are
Which is ancient and kind
Confuse not reality
With your state of mind
Be what you are
Which is empty and pure
Careful and wisely
Fulfilling allure
For someone arriving
Witness the sound
You emit when you breathe
You're giving life
And life you receive
This is the sound of someone arriving

Snow Plows

All the drugs
All the drugs in the world
Ain't gonna make things better
Well I like drugs
And you like drugs
I'll bet maybe
We've taken drugs together
Don't be ashamed
Blame's no thing
Forgiveness makes a ring
Around us all
But the snow's gonna fall
Gonna fall on us all
We'd better dig dig dig dig dig
Towards the sun
Well I hear the hum
Of snow plows as they come
And we're making our way
Back to normal

Baffled
05:27

Well are you baffled
'Cause I am feeling baffled, too
And when we're baffled
It's really quite a hassle
You are such a knower
You like to be controlling you
And in a moment the hold
You thought you held falls through
What are we gonna do?
What's the last thing you knew
Before you forgot?
It must have meant a lot
That it was something you thought
But now you let go
Well from my castle
So tiny and so massive
Inside a spheric apparition, passive
Waits for you a little bit of nothing
Surely waits for you
A little bit of nothing, too
But it binds to you
'Cause it's nothing glue
It's stuck all over you
No you can't run away
And no, you can't stand still, either
Well are you baffled
'Cause I am feeling baffled, too
And when we're baffled
It's really quite a hassle
You are such a knower
You like to be controlling you
And in a moment the hold
You thought you held falls through
What are we gonna do?
What's the last thing you knew

I think it might
Disappoint you to know
But I don't see
Any other way to go
And I want you to be
Just as free as me
Not trapped in fever dreams
Of global malignant schemes
So just get used to it
Even accidentally bad things will be
So if you must believe
You'll never trust
If so
Then I don't want to know you anymore
I'll bet you feel kinda special
Maybe even chosen
Yeah, I heard you mastered the code
But you shall find no resistance
When your chosen conspiracy
Resonates with that latent narcissism
But it's truly extra-boring
Don't you think you could find
A better use for your precious time
Your precious mind
If not
Then I don't wanna know you anymore
