The Sky Is an Ocean

When I woke from the big sleep, eyes wide open, then closed, clarity burned brighter than the sun. The veil tore, cast into the fire, with all my other doubts.

[Verse 1]
When I woke from the big sleep,
eyes wide open, then closed,
clarity burned brighter than the sun.
The veil tore,
cast into the fire,
with all my other doubts.

[Refrain (hook)]
The sky is an ocean,
blue currents rollin’ on,
clouds like whales are risin’,
then they’re gone.

[Verse 2]
The waters met the waters,
not in separation but in reflection,
two infinities pressed together.
There, in that seam,
awakening rose—
not from the mind,
but from the soul.

[Refrain (hook)]
The sky is an ocean,
blue currents foldin’ tight,
whales dive deep between worlds,
day becomes night.

[Bridge (spoken over a breakdown groove)]
Every step an echo,
every silence a drumbeat,
every breath the answer
I thought I had lost.

[Jam Section (instrumental improv)]

[Refrain (hook)]
The sky is an ocean,
blue currents foldin’ tight,
whales dive deep between worlds,
day becomes night.

[Verse 2]
The waters met the waters,
not in separation but in reflection,
two infinities pressed together.
There, in that seam,
awakening rose—
not from the mind,
but from the soul.

[Verse 3]
And then—
a dream,
a nightmare,
a flash,
a crash.
a Daisy Bark!
I woke.

[Outro (chant / fade)]
The sky is an ocean…
The sky is an ocean…
The sky is an ocean…

The sky is an ocean,
blue currents rollin’ on,
clouds like whales are risin’,
then they’re gone.

The sky is an ocean…
The sky is an ocean…
The sky is an ocean…

([band rides the groove out, fading in waves of sound)]

Track 4: Act I • Meltin' Away

I’m meltin’ away where the daylight bends • I’m meltin’ away no start no end • I’m meltin’ away dead or alive it’s all the same • I’m meltin’ away the mirror laughs and forgets my name
