Grounded in the real-life reality

You climb down a deep well,
and come out into a different universe,
the colors are different here,
and smells fly around like birds,
you don't see other people,
their presence is felt
deep inside the heart,
as if seeing a movie
inside the mind's eye.

You wonder
if you're losing your mind,
this can't be right,
who is the tall guy
I imagine,
walking behind me,
and then he taps your back,
sir, you forgot your wallet
back at the dreamatorium!
Just like that he's gone,
you're now searching for the well
to climb up into,
I may have wanted an escape,
but the world was at least sane,
and you climb back
into the bottom of the deep dark well.

Eventually, somehow you make it back,
and the world feels so much better,
the birds don't erupt here like volcanoes
and none of that bullshit candy-trees here
the water is cool and wet
and you can see and predict your way.

And for the first time ever,
you understand the meaning
of being grounded,
and grounded in reality
