Lyrics

Black then white are all I see in my infancy
Red & yellow then came to be, reaching out to me
Lets me see
As below, so above & beyond, I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason
Push the envelope. watch it bend

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities & I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines

Black then white are all I see in my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me
Lets me see there is so much more &
Beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn outside the lines of reason
Push the envelope. watch it bend

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind
Feed my will to feel this moment, urging me to cross the line
Reaching out to embrace the random
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come

I embrace my desire to
I embrace my desire to
Feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside & weep like a widow
To feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty
To bathe in the fountain
To swing on the spiral
To swing on the spiral
To swing on the spiral of our divinity & still be a human

With my feet upon the ground I move myself between the sounds & open wide to suck it in
I feel it move across my skin
I'm reaching up & reaching out
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me
What ever will bewilder me
& following our will & wind we may just go where no one's been
We'll ride the spiral to the end & may just go where no one's been
Spiral out. keep going
Spiral out. keep going
Spiral out. keep going
Spiral out. keep going
