Casual Enlightenment

You swoop in from somewhere else in the stratosphere
Black locks thrashing and aggressive dance moves
Meet someone and some lost inner self reappears
Some selves I can’t remember, some theories I can’t prove
Be my mantra, be my pinch of nirvana
Be the touch of transcendence I wanted
‘Cause I don’t know you too well, I can’t read your vibe
But maybe we find some enlightenment tonight
I know we won’t go through all the formal steps, it’s alright
I don’t need a soulmate, but in the normal sense we’ll take flight
Yeah it’s a casual night, for a casual enlightenment
I write down my dreams and you, you never archive
You take your cues from the workings of the real world
You are already gone since the minute you arrived
Were you even here, what is the deal girl
Be my mantra, be my pinch of nirvana
Be the touch of transcendence I wanted
‘Cause I don’t know you too well, I can’t read your vibe
But maybe we find some enlightenment tonight
I know we won’t go through all the formal steps, it’s alright
I don’t need a soulmate, but in the normal sense we’ll take flight
Yeah it’s a casual night for a casual enlightenment
