Sync Different

IN THE HERE AND NOW

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

I LIVE IN A KIND OF DREAM
BUT A DREAM THAT SEEMS QUITE REAL
AND I’M ON THE BRINK
BECAUSE WHAT I THINK’S OUT OF SYNCH
WITH WHAT I FEEL

BUT HEY I DON’T GIVE A DAMN
WHAT I THINK IS NOT WHAT I AM
GONNA SHED MY SKIN
AND I’M TRADING IN
EVERYTHING I’VE EVER BEEN

AND I AM NOT AFRAID
NOT A BIT CONCERNED
AND I’LL BE FORGETTING
MORE THAN I HAVE EVER LEARNED
SLIDE TOWARDS THE EDGE
STEP ACROSS THE LEDGE
ALL MY BRIDGES BURNED

TO BE IN THE HERE AND NOW
KNOWING HOW TO HEAR AND FEEL AND SEE
STEP OFF INTO SPACE
ISN’T THIS THE PLACE
I WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE?

There is a pond in front of the gate.
Water is flowing out
Birds are coming to bathe
Magpies are playing with lotus flowers

Girls are coming to wash the cloth.
Boys are threshing flour.
Take a look. Three times.
Working on the stone.
Take a look. Three times.
Working on the stone.

The clouds on the mountain have almost dissipated
The clouds in the sky have almost dissipated
Wandering people still have some way to go
People in the wall will turn off the lights

The eyes with desire staring at me
My heartbeat sounds lower.
The more you hope, the harder you fall


The more alert you, the more you indulge
lonely and completely, like a pupa
Infiltrating the moist silence in this night
lonely and completely, like a pupa
Wearing the shadow of yesterday.
