lyrics
I went out on a limb
grasping at all of the pretty things I've seen
recur in my time machine dream
and fell asleep naïve
unaware I might never find my way to back to the tree
here I lay, lost enchanted underneath
the canopy of fantasy
and I won't ever come back
We are threaded through time
by people we intuit we could be
mistranslating infinite peace
but when I recognize
my higher nature peck the shell
I'll split this cell
differentiate, but stay
and in remaining, meditate on gleaming grace
that I don't ever come back
grasping at all of the pretty things I've seen
recur in my time machine dream
and fell asleep naïve
unaware I might never find my way to back to the tree
here I lay, lost enchanted underneath
the canopy of fantasy
and I won't ever come back
We are threaded through time
by people we intuit we could be
mistranslating infinite peace
but when I recognize
my higher nature peck the shell
I'll split this cell
differentiate, but stay
and in remaining, meditate on gleaming grace
that I don't ever come back
