“and now for something completely different…”

can you hear me?
i’m not sure if we should do this
but first let’s get something straight
this is not for you

night, follow me
night, follow me

open up in death to the sweet release
open up in death to the sweet release
open up in death to the sweet release
open up in death to the sweet release

death is not the end.
it is only a transition to the shadows
where we will find meaning and purpose
so let us embrace the darkness
as one would a long remembered lover
hold us tight and make us your own
hold us tight and make us your own

last night i had a dream
a dream that I was sinking
further down the atmospheres
where azure turns to cerulean blue
before the stroke of midnight

six circles circled six sisters
six circles circled six sisters
six circles circled six sisters
six circles circled six sisters
six circles circled six sisters
six circles circled six sisters
and the youngest said to me

"in five seconds you'll be dead
in five seconds you'll be dead
in five seconds you'll be dead
but first let me show you everything"

and i turned the page like an open book
fighting the temptation to skip to the end
to be held by the epilogue before the introduction
has a chance to show its face

“little sister, why is nothing written on the fourth page?
why is nothing written on the fourth page?
why is nothing written on the fourth page?
why is nothing written on the fourth page?
why is the emptiness filled with everything, everything, everything, everything?
with everything”

she never said a word but i could tell that she was laughing
she never said a word but i could tell that she was laughing
she never said a word but i could tell that she was laughing
at three thoughts that i would try to understand while standing under her

under her i could see forever
under her i could see forever

and the two became one
became
one

“how can we go free o’ the story told to thee?”
“oh mercy lord, take a chance upon us all”
“on my honor you will see, on my honor, trust in me”
“say to me oh friend oh leader”
“oughta don’t say why, oughta don’t be shy”
“i don’t know, i don’t on most days”
“i don’t know oh baby”
“say to all obey one, say to all obey one”

“can you believe anything that comes out of my mouth?”

all the voices said to me:

“any way you looking?
let us take you for a ride
just give me your hand
you don’t have to be afraid
everything is not what it seems
steal your dreams
grab the wheel
start driving”

everybody’s gonna die
everybody’s gonna die

as i embrace the speed the keep talking to me:
“did you know it takes forever
just to get anywhere
so keep the pedal to the floor
straight ahead and don’t look back
heart attack
don’t react
it’s a long time coming”

everybody’s gonna die
everybody’s gonna die

now i’ve given everything
there is nothing left of me
that i can call my own
and now the story can begin
my empty pages yours
for all time

can you hear me?
i’m not sure if we should do this
but first let’s get something straight
this is not for you
