about

One morning, while I was studying abroad in Dublin, I woke up just as the light began to brighten the room. With perfect wakefulness and clarity I simply watched the brightness grow, felt enlightened.

lyrics

and i don’t know why it happened
i woke just before dawn
my eyes just opened up
to the infinite pale blue calm
i stared into the ceiling
nothing came to mind
but a soberness like steel
a waiting-for-to-find

there’s a knock, knock, knock on the door
by the time i answer, they’re not there anymore

i wondered at the presence
nothing did respond
my clock in was a’ticking
but time made not a sound
i put my hands behind my head
and looked closer above
i caught the room a’brightening
slower than i thought it could

there’s a ring, ring, ring on the phone
by the time i answer, i just get the dial-tone
there’s a knock, knock, knock on the door
by the time i answer, they’re not there anymore

a car went by below
in a sound like scraping ice
then the blue was gone
and left only clear white
a bus it idled by
the shop below unlocked its door
my thoughts filled with the day ahead
and rest it was no more
