O.B.E

Story Behind The Song

I was laying in my bunk and i had been there for only ten or fifteen minutes. When my head started vibrating. And then i started hearing a whooshing sound like alot of wind screaming through the cell, I could hear childrens voices like they were down the street at a playground. About this time i started thinking i was having a stroke or something, So i went to move my arm and i was paralyzed, now this thing was scaring the hell out of me. I looked up where my hand should have been if i could of raised it, And there was a transparent hand where my real hand should of been. I was not able to continue my O.B.E that night because i did not know what was happening. but iwas soon able to write the song. And look forward to my next O.B.E

Lyrics

(VERSE 1)
Well i was lying in my bed and my headit started creeping, I thought that i was dreaming but i knew i wasnt sleeping, The wind came rushing in and i heard some children crying, I tried to move my arm but this thing was paralyzing.
(chorus)
transparent fingers rising from my body, This was no illusion just my spirit on a journey, look back to see the flesh my spirit started rising, I never knew that leaving could be so satisfying
I will add second verse and bridge later
