Blizzard - Paradise Island Lyrics

Thought I was in a dream then I pinched myself
And I was there with the mic in hand
Feeling high off the adrenaline
In the DMT in my pineal gland

Two years ago I wouldn't have guessed I'd be here
But things don't work like they're planned
In REM wide awake
Guess I'll be fast asleep by the time I land

Sitting on the train flustered by the sun's rays
Now I swear I'm feeling sub-tropic
I guess my dreams are like my old computer
They don't have Reason or Logic

In a split second I'm at a desk in school
'Bout to sit my last exam
Then I blink, now I'm in the same hall that I did it in
Seeing if I passed it, damn

Had a dream the other day that I was falling
Into millions of voices talking
Lost in a cloud of my endorphins
I guess it must be a visual calling

Woke up right before the impact
Surprisingly my body's still intact
It's weird when you newly awaken
Your dream will still make your body feel shaken

And it's all a product of your mind
Experiences of so many kinds
Take a journey round my subconscious
You should see what you find

Repressed thoughts released gradually
The image can alter so rapidly
That you lose your grip on reality
But remember that shit happens naturally

I'm dreaming
I'm dreaming
Can't control my feelings
That means that I must be sleeping

And I don't know where this storyline's going
But my mind is getting narrow and I feel time's slowing
Slowing, slowing

It's a rare occasion that I have dreams that include people I don't know
I remember one time when I was in studio with Four Tet and Bonobo

I was watching the way that they worked
I remember thinking this stuff is a blessing
Imagine that, the stuff dreams are made of
Oh now I get the expression

Now a moment of nothing
I feel like I'm waking up but I didn't open my eyes
Now I appear on my local bus
With my old school friends, what a total surprise

What's good, are you cool? I expect a brief little catch up
But no-one replies
This might be a hint that I'm gonna be in for a shock
If I don't sever ties

Had a dream that I was sitting at the Mercury's
Everything panned out so perfectly
Sitting at the same table as Elbow
Burial saying that he wanted to work with me

Ben Howard asking for my number
Smoked a joint with Jake Bugg and that shit was sending me under
Then the minute that I passed it
I started to wake from my slumber

Went to the bathroom, splashed my head with water
I've gone back to my normal ways
It's funny how about eight hours of sleep
Can feel like fourteen days

Flashback to camping in '04
Radiohead on my Walkman plays
So inspired by Kid A
But let's get back to the present day

I'm dreaming
I'm dreaming
Can't control my feelings
That means that I must be sleeping

And I don't know where this storyline's going
But my mind is getting narrow and I feel time's slowing
Slowing, slowing

So that means that I'm dreaming
I'm dreaming
Can't control my feelings
That means that I must be sleeping

And I don't know where this storyline's going
But my mind is getting narrow and I feel time's slowing
Slowing, slowing
