Lyrics:

He referred to his memories as the dreams of his waking life
No it was really realistic, but with a magical feeling to it so that maybe you could call it more mystical than real
But uh, yeah, so
But I think they're all, like, kinda figures from my childhood that I would watch on t.v. and stuff. So they ... in some ways part of myself
Like one of them was rocks, floating around, just through space
I was in this completely white room, and there was this guy on a bicycle; but it only had one wheel, like the front of it was just, like, hovering
It didn't seem far when I was standing on the hill, but as I was running, it became further, and I just realized it was gonna be too far
It's these people that are so engrossed in their own worlds that they're doing comical things but they're so serious and sincere about it and they don't really, they can't really see what's going on outside of what they're doing
You just need to find something that's profound
And ... yeah, that's my weird dream when I was six years old
I remember finally getting to turn around and look at him, and when I would finally turn around and look at him he would disappear. And he was actually walking from, like, window to window to door to, like, try and find a way to get contact
But also his eye, he had, like, a screw for an eye
Uncertainty, like: What's going on? What's ... and now this, and now this, and now this like a dream unfolding
The lake had no shores beyond the horizon, like, it's sort of just a lake ... And, um, there were different people that I'd never met before
And just the oddness that any of this has come about at all, you know, like chairs, weird! ... T-shirts, weird! Even, I mean, ... but something utterly specific ...
But I had complete control over the conversation, and I felt like ... during the dream I had Sherman Helmsley in the palm of my hand? Like I could have at that point made him agree with anything I wanted
... are like snapshots; they are like pictures. They're not like a moving memory, like, I don't remember us doing this thing in, in an action sense
Like, uh, a feeling that, that courses through your whole body; it's not, not even localized in any specific place, it's not a thought, it's not even necessarily an emotion
I had some experiences that caused me to see the dream world as more than just psychological
I, I had some experiences with dreams that caused me to see that it was more than just physical
And I gu--I was--I suppose this is debatable but we, we could say that all that phenomena, all that dream phenomena is mind
The girl runs through a little crack, and I know that I have to get her back
I ask her again: Are you ready?
Force of will, the mind, like, made it happen. It's hard to explain exactly; it's like a breathing and like a ... [breathes] ... like a, like a ... you visualize it so strongly that it happens
It was, it was very, a very strange dream, it was so real an--and ... no dream has ever felt so real like it was actually happening
B'wait a minute: Isn't--Yeah--Is--Yeah, no, no--I know
And so that's what you're living, living in something utterly discrete, the color of your socks
So you're like, oh, I need a ... a fork. You could reach into that pile and grab a fork. 'Cause somebody left a fork there, you know what I mean? Even if nobody had ever put a fork there.
It's good to remember that 'know we're all still in our dreams
