I’m the glitch
I’m the portal
Been feeling so immortal
Taunting cemetery skies
Despite dying then returning
There’s so much I’m still learning
To fill this holy yearning
Turn the dial to sweeter times
I’m the front porch bottle rocket
That tried to say, “Goodbye.”
The twist of truth that brought them back
The flicker still lit inside
I’m the dandelion crown
Tangled royalty
The hungry haunt everybody’s got
The cure waiting in the streets
I’m the signs that shake my waking life
The shape of sleep undone
The Heaven I’ve been basking in
The Hell that I’ve outrun
When I wake up
Abundant and free
The taste of lightning lingers
The shock of being seen
The scene of even being
Anything at all
Much less this buzzing energy
Some strange electric call
That I’ll pick up
Forget that I’m me
The dreamer and the dream
This slow dance of discovering
Every single scene of being
Anything at all
Much less this buzzing energy
This strange electric call of the wild
