Refractions Lyrics

Refractions lyrics

I had a most distressing dream last night



I dreamed I was a crystal bird



Caught in perpetual flight







I'd ascend and glide and descend and ride



On the wind and never alight



I had a most distressing dream last night







Glass enclosed, exposed wherever I flew



With no control and a crystal soul



That one could see right thru







No ethereal nest where I could rest



I was frightened by what I knew



That my two crystal legs were broken in two







When I awoke my heart was beating fast



As if all night and endless flight



An eternity had passed







As I shook my head and slipped from my bed



Released from the prism, at last



I stepped upon a bit of shattered glass
