The Lifting

Grounded, 5 a.m. The night light 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've said the air was singing It's calling you, you don't believe These things you've never seen Good morning, and how are you? The weather's fine The sky is blue It's perfect for our seminar Now close your eyes and start to breathe Allow the noise to recede Allow yourself to drift and fly away But you just stay You've said the air was singing And it's calling you, you don't believe These things you've never seen And never dreamed Did you hear these voices calling? Did you hear these voices calling? Did you hear these voices calling you? Locked into a conference room We're only what our minds a*sume And rationale is leaving you This conceit, these systems of belief Your counselor agrees You always mark these boundaries Now you're free and with relief You've said the air was singing It's calling you, you don't believe These things you've never seen And never heard, and never dreamed You've said the air was singing It's calling you, you don't believe These things you've never seen Never Never Never Now once you had a dream Of oceans and sunken cities Memories of things you've never known You have never known
