The Daze

I fell into a deep sleep

I got lost in the daze

I fell into a deep sleep

I forgot my tears

I found some trees

And I walked through the trees

The sun came up, the sun went down

My eyes looked around

I saw this in bed like a soft flash

I didn’t feel my feet on the ground

I didn’t think about who I was

I didn’t think

I just passed through the visions

And the colors and the things

I mainly saw green and grey

And then some blue and red

The things passing by didn’t stop for me

I watched and I moved

The moments passed like a string of things of life came and it went off

I waited

I watched the pictures in the night

I saw the images of day

My body went through the motions at least it seemed that way

I went into a deep sleep

I found a new way to pass the day

Yes time was like ice melting in the sun

Everything was automatic, necessity was gone

I took the ride

I stood inside

And let the wild go around

I don’t have desire I just move

And all the panicked stood still

It all had a semblance from somewhere far away

But no familiar distinction

Get him away to force a reaction

It was all one direction

I didn’t have to turn around

I thought I found some new heaven

A place without words

It was like a stream of lightning path and I walked down that road

I didn’t think of an end or where it began and there was no pressure

It was like a cloud under that bright light path walking through the trees

And all the visions and the moments

And the pictures and that special society that developed

A semblance to the waking hours

But I didn’t hear any voices

And I didn’t have to talk

I didn’t have to laugh

I didn’t have to cry

I didn’t spend any time wondering why

I got real lost and didn’t care

There was no distinction anywhere

And there was a fine willing

I fell in love with a tree

I became like a tree

And nobody knew me

They didn’t care

The world walked amongst me

The world walked amongst me

I was that path

I was that sleep

I was that image

And now the days come and go

Turned upside down

I walk and I stand there all at the same time

I move like a breeze in and out at once

I feel into a deep sleep

I got lost in the daze
