Extend your awareness
Leave aside your body and it's needs
Catch the first hint as passion rises
What you long for is within reach
Dreaming, dreaming, awakening
Rhythms of darkness and light
Dreaming, sleeping, awakening
I am not this body
I am not this place
Secrets hidden in the darkness
Merge with the mystery of night
Give yourself to the blackness
With no hope of light
Dreaming, dreaming, awakening
Rhythms of darkness and light
Dreaming, sleeping, awakening
I am not this body
I am not this place
This is just a doorway, surrender
I am not this body
I am not this place

Inspired by Lorin Roche's Radiance Sutras (Vijnana Bhairava Tantra), this song was composed at Kripalu (Stockbridge, MA) in August 2016, and recorded at Figure 8 Recording (Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, NY) in January 2017.
Lyrics:
Extend your awareness
Leave aside your body and it's needs
Catch the first hint as passion rises
What you long for is within reach
Dreaming, dreaming, awakening
Rhythms of darkness and light
Dreaming, sleeping, awakening
I am not this body
I am not this place
Secrets hidden in the darkness
Merge with the mystery of night
Give yourself to the blackness
With no hope of light
Dreaming, dreaming, awakening
Rhythms of darkness and light
Dreaming, sleeping, awakening
I am not this body
I am not this place
This is just a doorway, surrender
I am not this body
I am not this place
