The Natural Profane - Natureland lyrics

[Chorus] Want to run away to Natureland And push the world away Another day, another phase It's so amazing to me Want to run away to Natureland And push the world away for you Another day, another frame It's so amazing [Verse one] Every now and again I reflect on my past And look back at all of these friendships I've had These eight millimeter two-reels that I watch in my head From a small desk with a cabernet sauvignon in my left hand Are what cause me refine my perspective, be thankful For the impressions these people all left so many years ago Lock every demon in the closet During scenes when I want the audience in the theater to be silent I've had my difficulties Still have regrets I've spent so many nights in this head getting upset But you can't limit your thought process like that And then expect from the universe What you never bothered to give back It's all about ebb and flow Forgiving and letting go Learning how to show love to an enemy when you dread it most And realizing that this external world has no effective control Over the lens through which you see it Welcome to your show [Chorus] [Verse two] Look Perfect worlds don't exist Out of chaos comes order Peace after violence, purpose from d**h Every achievement we see throughout history Has one common ingredient that was needed to make it happen Conflict That clash of ideas that gives birth to new breath And without that, there would be no such thing as a next step Now is there a lot of darkness out there? Yes But a lot of us tend to forget How much beauty around us there really is The projector keeps humming I can feel myself sinking into something of a slumber As relief washes over me And this kind of sleep is unknown to me Watching the reels reach the very last roll But the film keeps on fluttering With the screen's light reflecting off a gla** that is now empty Green pastures Enjoy the breeze Take one glance back before you leave Take my hand and teleport with me [Chorus]
