Lyrics

I hear the hazy waves on a solemn summer shore
It’s all so quiet now – no sign of the storm
Sand surrounding me – I’m pulled down with the tide
I fall in the sea and sink through my mind

Churning
Turning
Slurring swells whir in my ear
Drifting
Shifting
Then in an instant disappear

Scenes like grains of sand
sifting through my hand
In and out of focus these
images coalesce and –

I’m not sure if this is real
Can I trust what I touch and feel?
Is everything I hear and all that I’ve seen
a dream within a dream?

Sleeping again,
time seems to leave me
Seeking a meaning,
I spiral endlessly

Whirling through a blur of mismatched episodes
Hurling in infinite space – through worlds within worlds

Twisting
Resisting
I can’t lift my eyes to the present or past
Gasping
Clasping
The future slips right through my grasp

Scenes like grains of sand
sifting through my hand
In and out of focus these
images coalesce and

As I tumble through
each reality
Every place I see
draws me deeper, still –

I’m not sure if this is real
Can I trust what I touch and feel?
Is everything I hear and all that I’ve seen
a dream within a dream?

Come up for air
my body is so light here
I feel myself grow:
a breath in a sphere

There’s a wind that flies inside my head
high above the haze
Where shifting dreams and memories
slowly take shape

Now it’s time to change my life,
embrace uncertainty
Embrace the dream
that lives in me

Now I know that this is real
I create what I touch and feel
Everything I hear and all that I’ve seen –
I’m the dream within a dream
