Intro (Cumulus) by Ayana Take some deep breaths Close your eyes Ad imagine standing on a cloud A tangerine and lemon skyline With a small flavor of plum violet shades The sun is setting right underneath you Bringing warmth just below your feet And in that distance sky, you see something Something you never thought, in a million years Would ever be seen in this life Someone special you thought you would never see again on this earth A destination that seems so far out of reach in this reality Now image, you’re floating closer A warm breeze grazing the skin Hair blowing in the wind As your cumulus cloud drifts nearer You start to see every small detail Breathing in every aroma Hearing every faint sound As your eyes dilate with overwhelming doses of natural dopamine through the body Sensing massive amounts of joy, love and gratitude The spirit gravitates towards anything that is connected to one’s destiny The destiny is what one’s imagination, simply, cant let go of Let your spirit float like the clouds Let your imagination run wild And your dreams will draw nearer Happy dreaming

Now, don’t get it twisted Aint no hard feelings I hope you find the life to live in And hope it fixes that broken heart From all the villains but the demolition Is not an option Hope your listening It’s just constructive criticism (Don’t take me the wrong way my darling Clear mind and new heart that’s talking Maybe one day you’ll understand) But I don’t have the time to raise a grown man See I got plans way bigger than me I just needed new eyes to find what heaven sees I’ve been reborn, life’s got a hold on me I never felt so free (Free, free, free) How does it feel? How does it feel to know, your worst brought out my best Yes I have healed and grown Your artificialness showed me what’s real Real, real How does it feel to know? To know, to know How does it feel to know I know (I love you though I really do I wish you all the best Forget the rest You made me At my best, yes, hey)
