lyrics

I am one of a million sons
floating trough space like tiny specks of dust
A particle accelerates his ass into an electron
And it makes him a better one, but he's nervous because

It's hard to remember how to cope
When you like something better than being alone

And the patterns that you used to live in
Have come undone
Patiently waiting with in it
Pretending you don't know anyone

Waiting for four more hours is better than
Comprehensive muscular atrophy
And being an actual human will come in handy, you'll see

I am a million
suns that are particles in the vast expanse of space
And I can't breathe here
So I'm syphoning the oxygen straight from my brain
And I'm shaking heavily
Perhaps it's more like vibrating or something
And I can't sleep
so I'll lay awake and think about how great things could be

I am a million
bees in a beehive or blood cells in an artery
And I am a mountain
It's dusty up here and it's giving me allergies

And it's hard to remember who you are
When you thought you were doing well, but apparently you aren't

And the patterns that you used to live in
Have come undone
Patiently waiting with in it
Pretending you don't know anyone

Waiting for four more hours is better than
Comprehensive muscular atrophy
And being an actual human

A literal, factual human
you can do it

thanks
