The Gus Sessions

Before you fall asleep today
I have to tell you how I feel
So hollow, empty, alone and happy
To be sitting on the floor

While these rays of light
From my cigarette
Are bouncing around
In my head

I think of nothing
Cos I'm a soundwave
Floating along
In the air

And I need a way to get back
Again

Cos I have travelled over mountains
And drifted in the sea
And I can't even remember
How the earth feels at my feet
So far away

The earth turns at my feet
So far below
The earth turns at my feet
So far away
The earth turns at my feet
So far above me
The earth turns at my feet
So far away

The earth turns at my feet
And I'm getting tired of waiting
Waiting for your love
I'm waiting for your love
I'm waiting for your love

I waded through the river
Searching for my soul
I waited half an hour
But you never showed

Me the way to heaven
You only gave me money
For a ferry ride to take
Me away across the river

And I need a way to get back

When I die I wanna live
Beside the ocean
But when I live I want
Anything but pain
So I fly amongst angels
Carrying sickles
And I keep a coin or two
For the ferry

Methamphetamine dreaming
Of a forest in the air
I don't wanna be seeing things
But I can only stare

And all I hear is the rhythm
Of the beat dancing through my mind
And all I know is the answer
To a question I can't find

And all I feel is the rushing
Of the blood pumping down the hall
And all I have is this moment
But I have to have it all

Hazy light and a silhouetted
Figure in the dark
If you would only show yourself
There's so much I could ask

What If I didn't have a body
Floating along in an amniotic
World I've created out of my own fear
Of ever being born at all

What if my dreams were all synthetic
What if my waking life was a picture
Seeing the world through pixelated
Eyes

What if I'm really going crazy
Asking these questions that
Only make me
Realise the world is so much more
Than I could ever really understand

What if this party's all a memory
Confused with my present state of mind
And what if the girl I met last night
Was my imagination running wild

I know I can answer all these questions
If I only end my self-obsession
I know I command the fortress
Of my mind
But there's rebellion going on.

It's just a change of perception.
