(Jess): "This song was separate from "Dreaming..." but the two paired up so well that I made "Dreaming..." the lullaby, and "...Of Onions" the dream!
The two are meant to be played one after the other, but both stand alone just fine I think."
lyrics
Dreaming,
I'm fleeing
from all my earthly ties
sneaking out of my skull tonight
floating
I'm floating
unknowing where I may go
But I'm happy to do so
Cuz I've been sinking
heavier and heavier weigh the thoughts that I'm thinking
I untie
and rise
Where the wind is all I have
to navigate me through the maze
I was born to be lost without a clue
Where All I need
to see above the walls
to ground me when I fall
is to get lost at sea
Spirit, oh spirit
you and I are spirits
dancing, painting our double helix in the dream dust
Feel it, oh feel it
If you find a layer, please peel it
I'll cry like a bleeding onion
but oh I'll need it
Cuz I've been sinking
heavier and heavier weight the layer stacking
I unite
and fly
Where the wind is all I have
to navigate me through the maze
I was born to be lost without a clue
Where All I need
to see above the walls
to ground me when I fall
is to get lost at sea
I feel a wind from the waking world
takes me by surprise
lost in your ghostly eyes
ever present in this mind of mind
falling
I'm falling
my back to the ocean beneath
your eyes get harder to see
I'm sinking
deeper and deeper I'm slowly awaking
I try
to Feel you at the bed side
You may not be here next to me
but you are dancing in my dreams
I may not be there physically,
but I will join you in your dreams
when you fall asleep
so when you face reality
you feel you have my love eternally
when you fall asleep.
