Natural High
Natural High
I don't do drugs
My mind is just naturally psychedelic
I used to think it was a sunken relic
I have no need to escape reality
I create what I need inside of me
I can watch any old sunset
And drown in waves of silent wonder
I watch this planet from above,
sideways
and under
I feel the grass growing
Telling me when it needs another mowing
I hear the sounds of the universe expanding
A feather gently landing
In dreams I contact every soul
That ever lived or ever will
I know this all sounds too fantastic
My brain is made of common elastic
I tell you this without hesitation
Dare to dwell inside your own imagination
Don't be jealous of my strange excitement
I too used to live in the same basement
Until I turned my gaze skyward
And realised I was
on
the
bottom
rung
of
a
ladder
that
stretches
all
the
way
to
infinity.
And so I decided to climb it.
