Let's pretend that we are on a space ship
And I was given just one lowly envelope.
And we intuit what this guide will make us
As a rule we know we're never going home.
We've been given ample time to take us
To an astro-field of lonely running clocks.
Unimpressed by figments of creation
Turning quadrupeds into an ivory box
And this electromagnetic
Aesthetic's painful, frenetic,
And we've grown awful pathetic without our home.
And though we try we don't get it
And all along we forget that
It's just the two of us here and we're all alone.
We started feeling all that textured chaos.
Thrust in our engine and we shared a moment's pause.
One mistake and we know time will break us
We are speeding toward all the things we lost
And this electromagnetic
Aesthetic's painful, frenetic,
And we've grown awful pathetic without our home.
And though we try we don't get it
And all along we forget that
It's just the two of us here and we're all alone.
Our trust in a compass was a riddling stance
And you adjusted the palm of your hand
And my needle, it spun
And the swivel began.
