I Became Awake Lyrics
I became awake from a very dark place
A patchwork of fear, of poorly conceived ideas
With a blister of water, the mark of working hands ready to catch or cut
The senses aligned, the animal urgency
And voices picked up flowing over the static, late, quiet
I became awake
Fingers are open, eyes they are open
The firing images, an orchestra of scribbles
The guts of an engine, the veins of a leaf
Light on to paper, exposed
A filament in a bulb, up above or in the ground
Together we are magic
Together we are dreaming
Together we reach endlessly
The center of a seed, so full of possibilities
I became awake, I thought I was sleeping
But I was only forming a structure with no ceiling
With words like a runway, a cloud of a person drifting away
I was heavy, but now I am light
I was heavy, but now I am light
A patchwork of fear, of poorly conceived ideas
With a blister of water, the mark of working hands ready to catch or cut
The senses aligned, the animal urgency
And voices picked up flowing over the static, late, quiet
Fingers are open, eyes they are open
The firing images, an orchestra of scribbles
The guts of an engine, the veins of a leaf
Light on to paper, exposed
A filament in a bulb, up above or in the ground
Together we are magic
Together we are dreaming
Together we reach endlessly
The center of a seed, so full of possibilities
But I was only forming a structure with no ceiling
With words like a runway, a cloud of a person drifting away
I was heavy, but now I am light
I was heavy, but now I am light
