went west without a thought on my mind
I was looking for somebody to find
made it easy like I’m making your bed
part of something bigger outside of my
head
headed down to dream
wake me up below this stream
turned my head and everything that I saw
was covered in some yellow dust
if it was sand I wouldn’t have to complain
but it’s nearly just the same
as toxic rain
raining down on me
wake me up below the sea
a mine filled with diamonds
dug from the earth
but you’ll never find them
looking for worth
and while you’re still digging
I’ll give you a clue
all of this digging
It just leads to you
ahhhhh
this very moment I would just like to breathe
in through the nose out the mouth
at any moment you are welcome to leave
on the way can you carry me all the way
outside
where we hear
our inside voices are they here?
tell me again but tell me why
wake me up below the sky
what watch won’t willingly tell the time?
guess I gotta wind it up
It’s only real because I believe it is
and I believe so much in you
