lyrics

Out of the womb, into the tomb
Out of this world, into the moon
A magical, miracle, minuscule molecule
Wades in the pale moon, immune to it
Bathes in the blue sky, used to it
Counts an electronic day’s minutes
Crumbles a humble return to thin air
What a material sin!
Oh the plight that wears upon people!
It’s a ridiculous thing to be free without ever knowing
To be in the world but not with the world
Live a life and there’s nothing to do but live it
Breathe a breath, bleed red, yea there’s not much to it
People sigh and they cry and they agonize for it
And ‘I wish it was that easy’ is easy for you to say
Die a death easily the epitome of ease
At the end do you transcend ends and beginnings?
Once upon a timeline, twice upon a white light?
And ‘I wish it was that easy’ is easy for you to say
I met a being with a self-fulfilling reason to be
She lit a fire in the pupil of a ghost faculty
It’s plume caught in the wind, spread thin into the air
Someone I’ve never met and I are breathing it in
A little birdie told me the world has come to an end
She said ‘I feel so alive in such an exciting time!
When all is revealed it’s strange to be a stranger
The woe of the world reduced to breathing it in’
You were the world’s worst pretender
You looked into the eye, you just couldn’t lie
True to the world’s reservations
The shadow of light, rainbow black and white
You wouldn’t forgo your nature to accommodate a thing
This space is so spacious a weightlessness substance for you
Indibidigidible
