The Astral View

(Verse 1) The ceiling fan is cutting through the silence like a blade And I’m just hanging in the static, watching colors fade I left my body in the linen, left my worries on the floor Now I’m stepping through a doorway that doesn't have a door. See, the REM sleep is a lobby, just a place to wait and lean But I’m looking for the frequency that lives inside the sheen Where the logic starts to splinter and the gravity lets go And the secrets of the spirit start to put on a show. (Pre-Chorus) It’s a thin line, baby, like a silk thread in the dark One side is a flicker, the other is a spark And I’m sliding down the velvet, slipping out of the frame Calling out a number that doesn't have a name. (Chorus) Between the Dream and the Astral, where the two worlds collide I’m riding on a current, taking a midnight ride One is a mirror of the things I fear and crave The other is a river, and I’m riding every wave. It’s a psychic conversation, a frequency we share Floating through the ether, breathing neon air Yeah, we’re crossing over, baby, where the light turns blue From the sleepwalk of the many to the Astral view of you. (Verse 2) Now, the Dream is just a playground, it’s a theater of the mind Where the ghosts of old conversations are the only things we find But the Astral? That’s the highway, that’s the open silver road Where the soul drops the baggage and it lightens up the load. I can see you in the shimmer, like a diamond in the haze We’re weaving through the dimensions in a holographic maze No longer bound by skin and bone, no longer held by breath Just a dance of pure energy, defying life and death. (Pre-Chorus) It’s a thin line, baby, like a silk thread in the dark One side is a flicker, the other is a spark And I’m sliding down the velvet, slipping out of the frame Calling out a number that doesn't have a name. (Chorus) Between the Dream and the Astral, where the two worlds collide I’m riding on a current, taking a midnight ride One is a mirror of the things I fear and crave The other is a river, and I’m riding every wave. It’s a psychic conversation, a frequency we share Floating through the ether, breathing neon air Yeah, we’re crossing over, baby, where the light turns blue From the sleepwalk of the many to the Astral view of you. (Bridge) (Slow it down, heavy bass, atmospheric synths) Don't wake me up... Not until the silver cord snaps into place Not until I've memorized the geometry of your face. We’re drifting past the nebula, we’re orbiting the truth Finding all the magic that we lost inside our youth. Higher... Take me higher than the ceiling... Until the feeling is the only thing that’s real. (Guitar Solo / Saxophone Outro - Smooth, soulful, drifting) (Outro) Just a frequency... Just a shift in the light... From the pillow to the stars, baby. Keep the light on. Keep the portal open. I’m coming back to you... In the space between... The Dream... And the Astral... (Fade out with a soft, humming harmony)
