#Verse 1
Grounded. 5am 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. But in review
You said the air was singing
Its calling you, you don't believe it
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
Chorus 2:
Do you hear these voices calling?
Do you hear these voices calling?
Do you hear these voices calling
you?
Locked into. The conference room
We're only what. our minds assume
And rational is leaving you
These conceits, these systems
I believe your counsellor agrees
You always mark these boundaries
Now you're free
And with relief
Chorus 1(x2).
Never Heard, you've never dreamed
Never (x16ish)
Now once you had a dream of oceans, sunken cities memories
Of things you've never known
You have never known
