Up from the Ether

Lyrics

Forty winks in a crawl space Wrapped up tight Under the ether, out like a light Sleeping was my best defense Through every hard experience But I'm working my way up From the ether It's too cold, too dark, too damp In this house of fear I want to wake to the joys and aches Of the real world And stick around long enough To see what's happening here Yeah, oh... One rung up, six rungs down This shaky old ladder Keeps sliding around And the going gets slow And I check out fast Trying to track a pain killer that will last Baby, I'm working my way up From the ether It's too cold, too dark, too damp In this house of fear I want to wake to the joys and aches Of the real world And stick around long enough To see what's happening here Oh, yeah Strong medicine In the love of a good man Strong medicine in a family Strong medicine In the eyes of a close friend And the one truth That could finally make me free Oh, I'm working my way up From the ether It's too cold, too dark, too damp In this house of fear I want to wake to the joys and aches Of the real world And stick around long enough To see what's happening here Oh, I'm working my way up From the ether Oh, it's too cold, too dark, too damp In this house of fear I want to wake to the joys and aches Of the real world And stick around long enough To see what's happening here Working my way up Working my way up I've been working from the ether I'm working I said, working I said, work, work, work Work, work, work Work, working, yeah
