I have lain here for some time As I am wont to do each night Clocks if there was any light to see by Would but of hours passed inform me ♪ Untaken by sleep my restlessness And a beating heart I feel This pulse my mind won't pause May it wander at length unfettered ♪ I reach out I sense - a thought What will be when I am gone What will be ♪ Such is the encounter between my consciousness and the everflow One recoils in terror and the other rejects that which should not be ♪ The happenstance of self-awareness would I consider cruel Were I not as humble asserting an amoral universe ♪ No you will not think these things No this but causes pain you shall abstain No you see the enemy is time No you will only live for now I will protect you A royal edict I issue: I ban the concept of time ♪ I am insane! And I protect our sanity
