The Church - Dream of Edward lyrics

Whoa i've-I fell asleep for a while
I couldn't help it
I've been pushing myself to
The end even faster, taking fewer breaks
I dreamt while I slept edward was in my dream
Neither of us had really ever
Left the insane asylum
We just sat there in matching
Straitjackets in uncomfortable chairs
Facing each other we were surrounded by
Huge orange-red-and-black mushrooms
The sight of their amber gills above us
Slowly breathing in and out in a sussurating
Mimicry of conscious life
Was strangely calming to me
"Where have you gone?" I asked him
"Underground, " he said
"What did you find there?" I asked
"Acceptance, everlasting life, and mushrooms
" he said, and smiled
It was a lovely smile it radiated outwards to
Suffuse his entire face in a golden light
"Is that all?" I said "Was it worth it?
Did you have to give up anything?"
"My fear my consciousness my former life"
"What was that like?"
"Do you remember those trust exercises they
Made us do? Where one
Of us would fall into the arms of the others
And you just had to fall and keep
Falling and believe they would catch you?"
"It was like that?"
"It was like that except imagine falling for
A hundred years before you're caught
Looking at a black sky full of
Dead stars in front of you
And the abyss at your back" "You're dead
" I said it wasn't an accusation
"Probably, " he replied
