| [02:45.83] |
I'm standing on the precipice |
| [02:48.06] |
|
| [02:49.53] |
It's a cliff that I've prayed on before |
| [02:52.14] |
So much so that despite the fact |
| [02:54.06] |
That I don't know |
| [02:55.09] |
If I believe in a god or gods anymore my fingertips they bear callouses |
| [03:01.40] |
My palms they bear callouses from pressing together so tightly |
| [03:05.35] |
I pray hard when I pray I've often thought |
| [03:10.66] |
That this maw in front of us was the end of everything |
| [03:14.27] |
|
| [03:15.19] |
A darkness that consumed all a black hole |
| [03:19.06] |
|
| [03:19.57] |
Do you know that we are made up of the same stuff |
| [03:23.69] |
That makes up the stars |
| [03:25.62] |
So what flows through us may not be just blood it may be stardust |
| [03:32.98] |
|
| [03:33.61] |
And we are dying |
| [03:35.25] |
Every second of every minute of every hour of every day brings us closer to |
| [03:39.89] |
That final day that final hour that final minute |
| [03:43.89] |
That final second that final breath |
| [03:45.13] |
|
| [03:45.77] |
Which means when we run out of hydrogen |
| [03:47.77] |
|
| [03:48.51] |
We become giants or super giants or supernovas |
| [03:52.75] |
And if not that then we are simply stars |
| [03:54.89] |
|
| [03:55.42] |
Whose ill fated courses end in collision either way |
| [03:59.24] |
|
| [04:00.72] |
Either way we'll explode with this in mind I reconsider the precipice |
| [04:12.01] |
|
| [04:15.36] |
There is something beautiful in its persistence in swallowing us all |
| [04:19.99] |
The end |
| [04:20.87] |
The end of everything is the beginning of a brand new everything |
| [04:25.68] |
The end of this universe may mark the beginning of a brand new one |
| [04:31.00] |
So that even now when my heart feels like the most |
| [04:34.21] |
Congested intersection the world the world it is waiting |
| [04:39.60] |
|
| [04:53.07] |
I reconsider the precipice and so in an effort |
| [04:57.65] |
To take part in reckless acts of self definition I jump |
| [05:03.10] |
And I ask you to join me as I fall |
| [05:07.58] |
|
| [05:08.59] |
As I let that beautiful blackness take me into its arms |
| [05:12.37] |
I know that I will be safe in them |
| [05:15.46] |
I know that we you and I all of us |
| [05:19.33] |
|
| [05:20.27] |
We will be safe in its embrace |
