[Verse 1 ] Built this house from the ground up Said I knew what I was doing (I did not) Had a vision clear as morning Then the fog rolled in and I forgot But I've let things go that needed leaving And I've held things on past their time And every time I come back to myself I find I'm one turn further up the line [Chorus ] It's not a closed circle No it ain't going back It's an ascending spiral each return on a different track Things gather up things dissolve again Come round higher than they were back then Nnn Come round higher Nnn [Verse 2 ] When it gets foggy I used to get nervous Tried to fix it tried to force my way clear Now I just chant n̈ and I stop my rushing n̈ is the sound of my purest self The moment I hear it what I'm looking for is already here [Chorus] It's not a closed circle No it ain't going back It's an ascending spiral each return on a different track Things gather up things dissolve again Come round higher than they were back then Nnn Come round higher Nnn [Bridge ] What have you built that wants to grow beyond your plan (Let it breathe) Where is it foggy right now (Don't push) Maybe that's not a place to force your hand (Just sit) Maybe that's where clarity comes through (Come back) [Final Chorus ] It's not a closed circle No it ain't going back It's an ascending spiral each return on a different track Things gather up things dissolve again Come round higher than they were back then Nnn Come round higher Nnn Already home Nnn [Outro ] We come as we are We come for what we truly are And we stay conscious in it Nnn A little higher Nnn
