Margalee - New Ways of Thinking Lyrics

("Are you ready to go?"
"Yea"
"I'm ready to go"
"I've been ready to go for a long time")

Imagine when you play guitar in your dusty apartment
Every bird in California has stood in line outside your window
Waiting for the show...

Imagine when you paint
Despite having never attended art school
You're creating an entire universe on that canvas
Where people are fighting climate change

Imagine when you're wondering about the point of alarm clocks
You resolve just once to take the pressure off
And not think one more thing about routine
Or who you are, or where you've been
Or what would be likely for you to do or not do with your day
Imagine this is the first day you've ever risen

When your mother doesn't call, or calls but keeps it brief
When you feel as though you have no one at all on this crowded planet
Imagine there are twenty buffalo at your door who'd like to nuzzle you
Who'd like to nuzzle you...

Imagine when you're thinking of ending it all
When your inspiration has run out
And your spirit has depressed itself like a house
Sinking fast in a flood
That your lover calls you by a name you do not recognize
As if you've already died

When all options have left you
Like a fish caught, gasping...
Imagine that death
Is the life you're grasping

Is the life you're grasping...

What are you grasping?
What are you grasping?

Note: My mother frequently calls me and vice versa
