come take a tour of our experiment
where nothing ever really starts or ends
you wind the corner like you wind the clock
and turn the handle like you turn the page
a tiny crack will fracture out for miles
a tiny splash will ripple on for years
til everything is very quiet there
as everything is very quiet here
and I know when the hour will come
and I know them front and backwards
and I know when the storms will pass
and I know that one day
it's already here
come take a look
just round the bend
all is churning
cascading in endless color
now I don't know
which page we're on anymore
we are made of stars
we will never die

Welcome to the Future

|
as you glide in through your roof
your car becomes your chair
this button pours your drink(s)
this button takes your coat
and your meal is on the way
you speak in wheels like you roll any different
your dialect requires a mean bit of fiction
I hate to say it but one day you will see this too
welcome to the future
keep your ears to the street
smell the flying cars and movie stars
and missed opportunity
I've got a revelation
that will bring you to your knees
you'll throw a blind eye
but nothing in this world is ever free
welcome to the future
glue your eyes to the feed
smell the flying cars and movie stars
and decaying novelty
they've got a revolution planned
for each day this week
we're going prime time
when nothing in this world comes for free
as self-containment fails
all this dissolves from view
the ghost of language
haunts the grave of subtlety
and though your eyes still wander
you never do
and though you'd sell your soul
it's still a part of you
and when it seems that day
will never come
we'll just wait here in the dark
dreaming
hoping for an afterlife
we'll just wait here in the dark
breathing
looking for some inner glow
we'll just wait here in the dark

two steps down and rearrange
with old suspicions overplayed
who dared to search the sky and say
I wonder
to carry on and sail the stars
or back to the wasteland
for recourse
all orbiting some central source
some synthesis
some ancient code
all subsets can rearrange
this superstitious overlay
but can we ever truly learn
I wonder
all the rest can be ignored
the past is lost
destroyed
just please don't kill
the voice that says
I wonder

there was a message
a message came to me
down from where we grow
down from where we sleep
we float forever
there is no reason to breathe
we float forever
there is no memory
where the future grows
where the future grows
we will forever dream
where the future grows
carry the stone to the sea
candlelight flickering through the trees
there is only this dream
take a breath
it never leaves
we live forever
where the future grows
we float forever
we will forever dream
where the future grows
where the future grows

Hard Reset

we spin so long
we spent so long in the cold
we don't know
who we are
we don't know
some sequence starts
a sense of sequence is born
feel the old magic flow
breathe its power
subroutines start
running at the top of my voice
here lies some innocence
that lives no more
it's been so long
it's been so long, speak as one
there is love
there is pain
which weighs more

what secrets will be revealed
when we collide
the parts we love to share
and the pieces we hide
what secrets will be revealed
when we collide
will the bonds we form dissolve
will they weather the waves of time
when we stop to consider the odds
should we even try
can the answer even exist
your world and mine
so much we long to share
but the pieces we hide
what secrets will be revealed
when we collide

he figures through the grain and fog
the words have worn off all the dials
he never tells you where he goes
he likes to kick cans down the long road
just like the photograph
the circles spiral his intent
the sparks shoot dancing silhouettes
down past the ponds is where he stands
amidst the sputters whrrrs
he mutters when he says
I move to soothe an ancient curse
I walk to quench an endless thirst
quiet! this is where I eat
silent! this is where I sleep
the kingdom of the shade
I'll meet you right beyond the glade
I'll hang lantern on the post to show the way
I move to soothe an ancient curse
I walk to quench an endless thirst
I'll meet you right beyond the glade
I'll hang lantern on the post to show the way
I'll meet you right beyond the glade
I'll pray your star will never fade
while we search for the elegant way
and we turn to the elegant way
we all move on the elegant way
and we search for the elegant way
and I search for the elegant way

rising stones will greet our feet
walking winding
by the light of a catacomb moon
like a series of mysterious prizes
I'm so glad we took the long way home
