Hum

I stood at the edge of a vast ocean
and imagined the dissolution of the physical self
That moment confirmed just how trivial
the concept of identity really was
Closed my eyes tight and conjured the moment I dissolved
Becoming one with all the molecules as the journey begins again
Ascending into the atmosphere
I could hear the liberty bells ring out
and my heartbeat quickened

The atmosphere the beginning of ascent
We climb and climb and then we are met
With joyous song and long lost love
Im afraid that this will quickly pass
And that these moments will slip from my grasp
But I'm humming along til the rain dances come
and we descend again onto the earth
and the cycle begins again

Cycle is sacred and inescapable
Cycle is sacred
Cycle is sacrament
Taste and know
Taste and know
Taste

Strange stare strangers stare
I'm talking to the sky again
Off my meds again
But I just want so badly to be free
I'm still looking for signs and wonders
Still wanting to believe
But with the chemicals off balance
and a history of detachment
from this existence
I just don't trust these senses
I'm still trapped inside this body
Shackled to this skin
Assembled with the remnants
Of a hundred thousand better men

The atmosphere the beginning of ascent
We climb and climb and then we are met
With joyous song and long lost love
I haven't really loved in so long
I think ive forgotten what it means
But I'm humming along til the rain dances come
and we descend again onto the ground

Cycles begins again
Cycle is sacred and inescapable
Cycle is sacred
Cycle is sacrament
Taste and know
Taste and know
Taste and know
Taste and forget
