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, 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

It's calling you you don't believe

These things you've never seen

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 assume

And rationale is leaving you

This conceit, these systems of belief

Your counselor agrees

You've always marked 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

Never heard, 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, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, never

Now once you had a dream

Of oceans and sunken cities

Memories of things you've never known

And you have never known
