songs: Sally’s Song

I wrote this song while experiencing a psychedelic awakening... It's the only thing I ever managed to write from that state-- as it turns out, it's very hard to play a guitar when you don't have a body.

I didn't think to hold on
Till I was long gone
I didn't think I was wrong
Till I was dead wrong
I believe in consequence
Karma can be real
When we make coincidences
Into a big deal

Now I'm riding high inside my own set of skin
Sally opened up my eyes and
Helped me to look within
And all along it seems my song was dissent
I saw what I'd been waiting for
Was already happening

Sally opened up my eyes
She said as time goes
I should know better
Turned me for a look inside
And as my mind froze
I could remember
Similes enough for the sound
A symmetry that's not coming down
(come down, come down, come down)
But I will try to bring it, anyhow.

I didn't want to believe
That I was incomplete
I thought that destiny
Was playing tricks on me
Little did I know that one day I'd find me out
Take all my dogmatic thoughts and
Spin them around

Now I'm honest as the turning of these tones that I sing
Sally opened up my eyes, helped me to look within
And all along it seems I've gone where I've been
The day that I'd been waiting for
Was already happening
