lyrics

And suddenly…

My inner eye became a gentle giant wind.
That blew all of my thoughts away by treating them like kin.
There’s something in between.
A zone of true relief.
And once I laid my eye on it,
it couldn’t be unseen.

To this It may be fair
To look at and compare.
It’s pried in like a shield for me, so I can be prepared.
It took me thirty years,
Nineteen of which in crippling fears,
To find a place where I can be and nothing else is here.

It’s good that this day came.
Whatever happens: all the same.
I still haven’t felt happy yet, but I’m glad I’m not in flames.

I am the thing that sees.
I am the thing that feels.
I am the thing that’s dealt to, and I am the thing that deals.

Just let go of the wheel, and you’ll know:
Thoughts aren’t

The type of light you might expect to see when being on the verge of passing out. ... more
