[Intro — whispered, distant, slow guitar swells] Mmmmmmm... Yeah... Don't know where I woke up... Don't know if I woke up... [Verse 1 — slow, dreamy, half-sung] Ceiling breathing like a living thing, Moonlight melting off the window frame, I close my eyes and hear the colors sing, Somewhere between a whisper and my name. Floor starts drifting underneath my feet, Walls bend softly like they're made of clay, Every little heartbeat skips a beat, And every thought just floats away. (Hmmmm... float away...) (Ahhhhhh...) [Pre-Chorus — building gently] I don't need to know where I'm going, I don't need to know the way, There's a river underneath the moment, And it's carrying me away... [Chorus — deep, slow, psychedelic vocals] Take me where the shadows glow, Where the midnight rivers flow, Let me lose the world I know, I'm drifting... drifting... Through a sky without a sun, Past a million distant ones, I can't tell where I end from where I'm from, I'm drifting... drifting... (Ooooooh...) (Faaaaaaar away...) [Verse 2 — deeper, more surreal] Trees outside are reaching for the stars, Branches turning into ancient hands, I see a thousand faces in the dark, Then they disappear like grains of sand. My reflection looks a little strange, Smiles at me before I turn around, Maybe I've forgotten what my name is, Maybe I've forgotten I was ever found. (Mmmmm...) "Who are you?" "...I don't know." [Chorus — wider harmonies, hypnotic] Take me where the shadows glow, Where the midnight rivers flow, Let me lose the world I know, I'm drifting... drifting... Through a sky without a sun, Past a million distant ones, I can't tell where I end from where I'm from, I'm drifting... drifting... (Ahhhhhhhhhh...) (Ooooooooh...) (Don't wake me...) [Bridge — instrumental psychedelic breakdown, sparse drums] [Slow bass pulse, reversed guitar textures, distant hand percussion, swirling vocal echoes] One thought... becomes another... One door... becomes a thousand... I reach for the handle... and the handle reaches back... (Hmmmmmmmm...) [Verse 3 — almost spoken, hypnotic] Now the room is ocean, And the ocean is the room, I'm floating through a purple sky, Inside a silver moon. My memories are photographs, Burning at the edges slow, I watch myself become somebody, I used to think I'd know. No fear... No future... No yesterday... Just this breath... then the next... [Final Chorus — huge, slow, floating harmonies] Take me where the shadows glow, Where the endless colors grow, Let me disappear into the flow, I'm drifting... drifting... If there's somewhere I belong, Maybe I've been there all along, Maybe getting lost was never wrong, I'm drifting... drifting... (Ooooooooooh...) (Aaaaaaaaaah...) (Mmmmmmmmm...) [Outro — fading, whispered] The room is breathing... The stars are moving... I think I'm dreaming... Or maybe... I'm finally awake. (Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...) [Long instrumental fade — warm fuzz guitar, deep bass, distant humming, psychedelic ambience]
