lyrics

I’ve been having lucid dreams
multiplicities and somebody’s gun
and when I wake up in the morning
I’m a medicine woman
and when the sun is in the sky
I am just another human
and when I go to sleep at night
I am under construction

don’t take me at my word
take me by the wrist
sit me on a throne
cause I’m just a story that you heard
a plot with a twist
carrying a stone
that I believe will carry me back home

can you feel it in the air
hear it on the wind, coming down the mountain
no, we in the age of prophecy
look to our books for our predictions
go on and read yours out loud
tell me is it matching what you’re seeing?
before taking anything for truth
I ask you are you sure you aren’t dreaming?

don’t take me at my word
take me by the wrist
sit me on a throne
cause I’m just a story that you heard
I’m a plot with a twist
carrying a stone
that I believe will carry me back home


[we heard news that the chief of staff and the generals, these men, and Marcos, had agreed just to shoot us down. right when dawn broke, you know, we saw the choppers coming in, we were going, this is it guys. we’re done. but I just hope that other people carry on]

quiet, in the deep of war
someone’s lucid dream takes hold
and there, in the royal cockpit
she finds herself a rebel
and joins the people


I’ve been having lucid dreams
multiplicities
and somebody’s gun

don’t take me at my word
take me by the wrist
sit me on a throne
cause I’m just a story that you heard
I’m a plot with a twist
carrying a stone
that I believe will carry me back home


[all of a sudden they went into their dive. and you saw the guns point up, because they’re just hanging off the choppers. and right when they were coming, all of a sudden, the first leader pulled up. and I saw the guy holding the gun go like this—and this was our sign. it was ‘laban.’ it means fight. and he […] and he took off. and I went with the guys locked in with me I went: they’re joining us! and everyone was going: no, did you see—I said: they’re joining us! and nobody knew anything. then the other four came in, and they did the same thing. and they landed with the crowd. and they joined us. that’s when we knew—we were taking over]
