I Became Awake Lyrics

I Became Awake lyrics

I became awake

From a very dark place

Patchwork of fear of poorly conceived ideas

With a blister of water



Mark of working hands, ready to catch or cut

Senses aligned, the animal urgency

And voices picked up

Flowing over the static, late, quiet



All awake, all awake



I became awake

Fingers are open, eyes they are open

The firing of images, an orchestra of scribbles

The guts of an engine, the veins of a leaf

Light onto paper, exposed



A filament in a bulb, up above or in the ground

Together we are magic, together we are dreaming

Together we will reach endlessly

The center of a seed, so full of possibilities



All awake, all awake

All awake



I became awake

I thought I was sleeping but I was only forming

A structure with no ceiling

With words like a runway

A cloud of a person drifting away



I was heavy but now I am light

I was heavy but now I am light

All awake, all awake

All awake, all awake
