FAWM 50/90 2022 song 6 (ask your body)

The Oblique Strategies told me to ask my body, so I did, and imagined it running through, and reacting to time and space in relative dimensions, etc. etc.

The title came after...

Rickenbacker 4003s bass (x3), '52 Tele, Tama Club Jam kit, Eventide Space

lyrics

And I want to believe that's not in my head
But I disagree- what is under the bed?
There's a crack in the wall, another in the door
Only half of a ceiling and a third of the floor

But I want to believe that it's not in my head
Here's another story, another plot to thread
There's an answer missing and a hole in my plan
I should ask my body what to do with my hands

What about the things I need to know?
Like how to breathe in here

There's a holy fire burning through the streets
Could it take me higher? Can I find release?
With another button, I could save the day
With another lever, I could enter the fray

But I want to believe that it's not in my head
There's another mountain to climb before I'm dead
There are pieces missing, image incomplete
My eyes are hazy as the hammers cease

What about the things I need to do?
Like how to change this view

What about the things I need to say?
Like ask, "What's wrong with you?"
