lyrics

Drinking the Sky

Not enough blood at the sacrifice
Not enough to go around
Constant reminder of our state
Bound to flesh and not much more
Matter longing for spirit
Matter longing for spirit

Leaves are turning again
Waiting for the year to end
Breathing feeling the air
Tending to develop a stare

But, it’s alright
And, it’s okay

Step outside in the rain
Dancing, from the fear I refrain
Step so far I fall away from
Who I am and who I’ve been

I’m so high I’m drinking the sky
And I don’t ever want to come back down
Oh, I feel so brand new

“Pain is an illusion”, he says
“So don’t get so caught up in how you feel.”
But, I’m looking outside
And the trees have all died
And nothing’s ever been so real

But, it’s alright
And, it’s okay
Tomorrow doesn’t exist
And, don’t you worry about today

I’m so high
I chose mind over matter
None of this matters
