Lyrics
BLUR BLUR BLUR
i was daydreaming
i was dreaming in a horrible way
you do not know who the enemy is
the enemy is water
you asked me what the color of water is
of course it is
a long slow pull
what are you thinking about?
i can tell you're thinking about something
is it the color of the sky?
it is
is it blurry, your thinking?
you're thinking that it is blurry
the world when you're thinking of it is fast
you're thinking of a bed you used to dream in
you're thinking of falling asleep in that bed
a small bed with your small body in it
you're remembering
you're remembering the feeling in the morning
how the bed changed
when you were a child you were petulant
you did not want to fall asleep
you wanted to keep your thoughts where you could
see them
but eventually you grew tired in your hateful bed
you drew the sheets around you it was wrong
bed too small sheets wrong too stiff too hot too much
and in the morning the bed was different
you were different it was the best place
you could not imagine a better place
it had warmed to you it made you believe the world was soft
the world was blurry but the bed was the world
it was where you wanted to be it was impossible
you wanted to go back into that world the bed made
the dream was safe it was beautiful and strange
you were you but different, stronger you saw clearly
the world of the dream had whims you followed them
the dream had a river you followed it you thought
i have to see the mouth of this river and you did
you kissed the mouth of the river it was cool and sweet
you sipped the world with your perfect mouth
and you knew you knew you knew you could return anytime
to this place that you had found on your own brave way
it was your place and still and sweet and you promised
you promised you would come back
but then you woke into the blurry world
you grew up and you forgot you forgot your special place
you grew into the world as it was
