lyrics
I went out on a limb,
grasping at all the pretty things I've seen
recur in my time machine dream.
And I fell asleep naïve,
unaware that I might never find my way
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.
I'll change, but stay, and in remaining
meditate on gleaming grace
that I don't ever come back.
grasping at all the pretty things I've seen
recur in my time machine dream.
And I fell asleep naïve,
unaware that I might never find my way
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.
I'll change, but stay, and in remaining
meditate on gleaming grace
that I don't ever come back.
