Sound of Awakening

The sound of awakening

The virgin yawn of folded wings

That cracks the crust of the cocoon

The breaking of first light inside the womb

Do you feel my heartbeat quickening

In between the bated breaths before the turning of the page?

The sense that everything's about to change

Kicking and screaming you can't make me leave this place

Cradled in the arms of darkness I am safe

Until you pulled me into life

How could I know that I'd been blind?

It was love at first sight when I opened my new eyes

And saw your face

The sound of awakening

The exoskeleton thickening

Do you feel the floodgates opening

To the sound of awakening?

As whispers in the heart disclose the rumors of the truth

When the mind has all but hidden it from view

The surface trembles as the core begins to heat

And you no longer trust the turning Earth beneath your feet

Questioning if time has ever moved in a straight line

When you feel the aches of past life lovers

As you pass by one another in the street

It's the sound of awakening

Psycho-tropical symphony

All the voices washing over me

The distance

And the difference

Between us

Is just illusion

The distance

And the difference

Between us

Is just illusion

It's all a dream

It's always been a dream

Yes, it's all one magnificent dream

And that's all it's ever been

Yes, it's all a dream

It's always been a dream

Yes, it's all a dream

My love for you will echo in eternity

The distance

And the difference

Between us

Is just illusion

The distance

And the difference

Between us

Is just illusion

The distance

And the difference

Between us

Is just illusion

The distance

And the difference

Between us

Is just illusion

The distance

And the difference

Between us

Is just illusion

Illusion

The distance

And the difference

Between us

Is just illusion
