Lyrics:

Until my heart skips a beat
And I feel the fluttering of a thousand wings

[Left:]We walked near the middle of the room and to my surprise I fell through the floor
And ... basement
Basement was really bright because there were windows
Um, it ha--it was one of those houses on a hill
Where half the house would be exposed on one side and half would be under the hill, y--you know?
And uh, so it was really bright
There were lots of windows and there was a door, but I couldn't get it open
So, uh, for some reason there was a little trap door in the, on the floor, in the corner of the basement, uh,
And I opened up the trapdoor
And I saw a stream, stream of water, really clear stream of water
I took a drink from it, it was, it was ... very good water
And uh, I continued to go into the, uh, like, it was really small but somehow I fit through the trapdoor, and uh,
I let the stream carry me for a few seconds
Outside into what seemed to be the backyard
(And this is the most interesting part:)
It was uh, it was a little beach on a lake, uh,
Not like a big, vast shoreline
'Cause it wasn't the ocean, it was, it was a lake
It was a small, little, uh, almost like a marsh
And uh, there were frogs, I remember seeing frogs jumping in
It was really sunny and the, the trees, you could see the sunlight coming through the trees
And it was really, really beautiful amounts of light coming into this l--little opening
And uh, along the little patch of dirt that was, um, the--before the, the water began, on the lake,
There were two children playing, and um,
They, they said something, and it was really important, I know that
Uh, I asked them, uh, what did this house used to be,
What was this place before it became a run down, uh, nature sanctuary, almost
And uh, they answered me, and
One child stood up and, uh, looked me in the eye, and uh,
Said something, and I really cannot remember what he said
So, I kind of missed the entire point of that journey through my mind
I wish I could remember that

[Center:]I've been dreaming about like,
Like sort of primitive life?
Like, dr--like, dreaming about, you know,
The ocean and, like, apes
And all the, the wetness and the darkness and the apes
--Living in the waters?--
Living with the apes and kinda being scared
I--I feel like I'm sort of like an omnipresent figure in the dream
Like, sort of, throughout the dream?
And ... I don't know if I really have, like, y'know I, don't think I'm a character that has a part ...

[Right:]So, there was an elevator
And I, and I kinda stopped and I looked at it and I said
"What the fuck? Why is there an elevator here?
I don't remember an elevator being in school."
Then I proceeded to go into the elevator, not knowing where it would take me
And the elevator was glass, so I could, I could see everything
I could see outside and inside, everywhere
It w--I was kinda like this omniscient person rising above the school
And um, I found myself going higher than the actual building itself
I was going, like, in this transparent tube o--l--like on, o--w--flying, almost
On to--on top of the building, over the building
And, uh, I found myself over the clouds
Um
And, the--the elevator just kind of disintegrated as it--as things sometimes do in dreams
And, uh, I found myself floating above the clouds
And, uh, okay this is really hard to explain
Uh, there were, there were fountains of water, um,
But, like, a public water fountain that arcs in a semicircle?
These water fountains, uh, were a full circle, not coming from any source
Just like this eternal circle of water, uh, within its--within itself
It was like a ring of water, um, flowing, clockwise
Uh, so, I--I--I fff--I floated toward these rings of water
I drank from them; they were,
Y'know i--it was really refreshing, of course
And um, and so after drinking from these rings of water
I uh, I noticed that there were a whole bunch of butterflies, uh, flying above the clouds
And I thought this was strange, y'know, w--why am I dreaming about something so fruity an--and--and ehh--sugary? Uh,
But I--I kind of went with it and I, and I let the vision kind of manifest itself more
And uh, the butterflies turned into this face, um,
Like a huge face
And the face started singing to me, i--it was
Totally, totally bizarre
A--and, I remember the song, I don't remember what it sounded like
But it was really, it w--it was really beautiful and uplifting
So, uh, yeah
