The Galaxy's Elegant Cinema

Trying to extricate
myself from this poisonous vein
in the body of life
I just want out
the slow retreat and the quickenin'
the speed of light and atomic spin
the more you learn, you find the less you are
the dawn of it all from a dying star
do as I said, do as your told
be wise, don’t get old
open this door but don’t walk through
need the sun but stay on the moon
all you have to do to be amazed
is put your back in the earth and direct your eyes into space
it’s proof that you are truly smaller than you feel
when it takes billions of years for light to reach this place
to look into the sky is to look at the past
Elegant cinema that’s unsurpassed
so I don’t expect you all to understand
in fact I know not many can
listen when I say
this bold thought kicks your heart into starting
starlight’s journey through a timeless void
through your eyes into your heart to joy
look into the sky
these bold thoughts kick your heart into starting
to look into the sky is to look at the past
(An) elegant cinema is unsurpassed
can feel so cold, while the weather’s warm
can hear the ocean, but I can’t find the shore
can see my feet, but I can’t find my shoes
I found my shoes, but I don’t know where I stand anymore
removed my shades, so I can drive my car
I raised my mind, now I can see these scars
live for this life cause life is so absurd
one in ten to the tenth, yet here we are
