By and by we’ll defy,
a little bit of gravity
Novocaine
For the soul
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Can’t feel my feet touching the ground
The sweetest song is silence
that I’ve ever heard
Funny how your feet In dreams
never touch the earth
Life is white
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
These dreams go on
when I close my eyes –
Every second of the night,
I live another life
Guess who’s living here
With the great undead?
This paint-by-numbers life
Is fucking with my head
Once again
Living is easy with eyes closed –
Misunderstanding all you see
Life is good,
and I feel great –
‘Cause mother says I was,
a great mistake
(Lift me up) When I’m falling –
(Lift me up) I’m weak and I’m dying –
(Lift me up) I need you to hold me –
(Lift me up) Keep me from drowning again
Hold me, hold me,
’cause I wanna get higher and higher
Novocaine
For the soul
You’d better give me something
To fill the hole
The left brain, on the other hand—literally—is geared, McGilchrist argues, toward breaking up the whole that the right presents. It turns the right brain’s unity into bits and pieces, which it can then manipulate. Its job is to analyze the big picture presented by the right and reduce it to easily manageable parts, which it can control and arrange to suit its purposes.
I held the pieces of my soul –
I was shattered,
and I wanted you to come and
make me whole
For those who have a sense of this invisible, other reality, the answers to life’s mysteries offered by modern science are inadequate and unsatisfying. They are unable to accept them and they find themselves seeking something else.
I know I’m searching for something –
Something so undefined –
That it can only be seen,
by the eyes of the blind
Gravity release me,
and don’t ever hold me down.
Now my feet won’t touch the ground
Fade into you –
Strange, you never knew –
Fade into you –
I think it’s strange you never knew
Heaven –
I’m in heaven…
