All that I am, that I am has never seemed to notice your heart. I’ve got your number, I am ready or not, I’m falling apart. (the great I am) Even when I open my eyes I already owe the world. I am one of you and I am, more than truth But all that I can see is already in the sea but I made restitutions if you know. But I guess I’m already cold. Truth up above, raise your hands, and down below I am a bird, I am all, and I’m coming home. All that I am, that I am, that I am has never seemed to notice your heart All that I’ve got, that I’ve got, I’ve got ready or not, it’s falling apart. Even when you open you open your mind, I’ve already left the world I’m never going back, I’m never going back I’m never going back, I’m never going back. All that I can be is written in the sea but I made restitutions if you know. I am already cold truth up above, on your hands, and down below. I am a bird, I am all, I’m coming home. Oh, yes. All that I’ve been, I’ve been, I’ve been I never seemed to notice your heart But I’ve got your numbers and ready or not I’m falling apart. Don’t tell me what I can’t do, what I can’t do. I am part of you, and I am more than truth. All that I can be is written in the sea but I made restitutions if you know what I mean. I said, I made restitutions! All that I am is written All that I am is written All that I am is written in eternity All that I am is written in eternity.

There I go to be solved I’ve been burdened by eyes for too long Let it go. Into love. Let it go. Into love. Newborn lamb, you liken me to yourself in part ‘cause I know you want one There it goes! I liken you to myself. There it goes pure and soft I’ve been burdened by my life for too long. Let it go into love. Let it go into love. Black as night you liken me to yourself in part ‘cause I know you got one There it goes, I liken you to myself in part ‘cause I know you want one.

All that you were, that I wanted to be you’ve got all the things, you see. you’ve got a lot of hold on me There was a ghost, he was only there for us you’ve got all the things you see you’ve got a lot of hold on me You’ve got a lot to hold you hold. There was a ghost even though you know you don’t believe. I laid him down because you know you don’t believe. All that you were, that I wanted to be you’ve got a lot of things, you see you’ve got a lot to hold on me. You’ve got a lot to hold you hold. you hold.

I am seen and unseen watch me as I fly all that I am and am ever gonna be is forever alive. I’ve been wondering why you stay with the old ways but you’ve been apart for too long I have watched you stay with your old ways sins of omission, sins of commission. Here’s what science has done for me you’ll never, never learn and all that I learn is still good for me I’m never, never, never going to die. I’ve been wondering why you stay with the old ways but you’ve been apart for too long I have wasted while you stay with the old ways sins of omission, sins of commission. I’ve been wondering why you stay with your old ways but you’ve been apart you’ve been wondering why you stay with your old ways I have been going through my mind’s eye you know, you know, you don’t? oh. I’ve been visiting real worlds in my mind’s eye you know, you know? you don’t. oh you don’t know. oh you don’t know.

When I got up I saw them on the banks of the river I heard when they called. The whole world waits for all our sin the whole world waits for our offerings. All our natures to fight our restless souls are cursing in the night and all our natures put right bless us all and give us a third sight. All of us were washed when we laid down. and we were released but we came when you called. And the sun beats down, the sun beats down on all our skin! and I am warmed, I am warmed for the offering! All our natures to fight our restless souls are cursing in the night and all our natures put right bless us all and give us a third sight. Oh like a bird. oh you’ve been living a lie, stop it now. (you’re free.) Now that we climb, we climb up the rock and oh, I can feel us coming when you call! All our natures to fight our restless souls are cursing in the night and all our natures put right bless us all and give us a third sight.

These hands, all alone and I know what they’re doing but these opinions I can walk and talk without moving, oh! These hands all alone and I know what they’re doing and these opinions from when I walk and talk without moving and I am up above where I’m seeing signs and symbols when you walk, when you talk, when you’re bleeding Help, help, you’re headstrong someone is looking at your headstone help, help, your heart’s stopped someone’s looking, they’re looking up! These arms under sun, understood what they’re doing signs and symbols when you walk, when you talk, and you’re moving! and a bulb is a bulb when I smell it tiny fingers to god and they know what I don’t understand and I’m ready for what I am And I hold out my hand, oh as your body turns to dust, oh and I hold out my hands, oh as my body turns to dust.

All those expectations, come around now they push down. and I’ve been feeling like I might have been, I might have been wrong. but here The Truth sits in an atom bomb its hummed song and you get that feeling from what I might have been, I might have been. But is it ever apart? is it ever apart? You’ve been feeling like the sun goes, it doesn’t go. but Pale Sun spinning between my fingers fold, it takes hold. the world is bigger than you give it credit for But is it ever enough? is it ever apart? Is it ever apart? no, it’s not, it’s one thing.

Lo, I have seen fire but not this kind. Fall away, fall away feathers the arrow comes apart. When we ascended we opened up the gates… of perception.
