lyrics

At times of confusion or obscurity, the ancient Greeks would consult an oracle, ‘The Pythia,’ for her divine prophecies. Intoxicated by a mysterious vapor emitting from a crack in the ground of her temple, she would inhale the mysterious vapor and in a trance mutter indecipherable phrases that priests would interpret for meaning.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by an impulse?

Do you allow yourself to get carried away with it?

What does it feel like to give in?

Is it like a gas that floats around your body? And when it makes its way to your head it obscures your vision and thought, in a kind of ravenous daze?

What is holding you back from indulging more?

Are you afraid of the repercussions?

What if no one knew what you were doing?

Doesn’t it feel good to let go?

Do you want more?
