[Intro] (breathe slow) I wake with the veil half-torn from the sky Salt on my tongue and a sun in my eye The floor of the world is beginning to bend I step through the door and the dreaming won’t end [Verse 1] Walk in waking visions Blurred across the horizons Ash in the daylight, gold in the rain Shapes with no names wearing out my name I hear the glass hum under my feet I watch the clouds drag chains through the heat Every direction opens and spins The sea of the mind lets the drowned light in [Pre-Chorus] I know this current I know this pull A mouth in the deep saying, come down full No map in my hands No shore in sight Just a black-tide psalm in the teeth of the light [Chorus] In the sea of the mind you can’t fight the tide You can only go under with your eyes open wide Walk in waking visions, drift through the fire Blurred across the horizon of a world gone higher In the sea of the mind I am split, I am whole A wave with a body, a mouth with a soul When the veil rolls back and the heavens unwind I become what I find in the sea of the mind [Verse 2] There are temples moving underneath the foam There are dead stars ringing like bells in bone I saw my shadow kneel at the edge of the blue It wore my face better than I ever do The moon poured silver into every vein The silence bloomed like a fevered stain I tried to name it, it answered in kind With a thousand-eyed wind from behind my mind [Pre-Chorus] Now the water enters Now the walls go thin Now the hidden choir starts up again No hand can hold it No word can bind That old blind kingdom behind the mind [Chorus] In the sea of the mind you can’t fight the tide You can only go under with your eyes open wide Walk in waking visions, drift through the fire Blurred across the horizon of a world gone higher In the sea of the mind I am split, I am whole A wave with a body, a mouth with a soul When the veil rolls back and the heavens unwind I become what I find in the sea of the mind [Breakdown] [drop to bass and tom pulse] [Guitar Solo | 32 Bar back to Bridge] [Bridge] [drop to bass and tom pulse] Below thought Below breath Below the little borrowed names of death I found the root with no beginning sound A wheel of teeth turning slow underground (spoken-hushed) I was never lost, only divided Now the flood comes in undenied [Final Chorus] In the sea of the mind you can’t fight the tide You can only go under with your eyes open wide Walk in waking visions, torn out of time Blurred across the horizon where the false suns shine In the sea of the mind I am split, I am whole A wound made of water, a door in the soul When the veil rolls back and the heavens unwind I become what I find in the sea of the mind [Outro] (wide harmonies) Walk in waking visions Walk in waking visions Blurred across the horizons Sea of the mind Sea of the mind
