about

"This song was co-written by my space heater" - David Ney

lyrics

I'm flashing light at a mirror in the dark
With a flame that I started with a spark
That over hundreds of years became an optical illusion
Astronomers accuse me of light pollution
I ain't tryin' to flash their telescopes
I ain't tryin' to raise their hopes
Of discovering the source of original flame
There's billions of stars that have never been named
It seems to me that if the universe is infinite
I can sit back and see the planets that are dimly lit
Just by closing my eyes I can manifest their shape
I consider their size, and no light can escape
From the black hole I've become enclosed in
I'm suspended - my animation's frozen
I'm at the top of a self-suspended peak
Of my life -
I'm evolving to the point where I don't speak
And I am solving puzzles of existence in a sphere
There's no point in listening because I can't hear
All the sounds on the outside
I tiptoe on the fine line
Am I still alive, well I'm lookin' for a sign
I notice the infinite points the light's bouncing to
I've become immortal since I stepped within you
The personification of external enlightenment
I took a torch to my senses and I heightened 'em
I can't deny my imagination's spun
There's nothing I've consumed
There's no drugs that I've done
I could be rolling
I could be bouncing
I could be floating
But I don't really care where this ball is going
Or if it's just stayin' in the same spot
I ain't focused on that
No my perception is shot
All I can recognize is my silhouette
It's shadowy, it's scary and I try to forget
That I am in this space
I focus on the light
From the flame that is never ever-present and bright
Too much white
Becomes black
And every color in-between begins to stack
And like a negative
I can only see my outline
I'm a bubble child being born for the first time
Those I last spoke to sealed me in
And sealed my fate
I don't know where to begin...
