lyrics
In the moment before acting lies a void
Where every future gleams, reflecting every other
Every moment a uniquely blooming world.
In the space between two thoughts
Where every other instant grows
Expanding now into infinity
And every possibility unfurls...
How do you choose your next life?
It may seem your heart has stopped between two beats.
It's not the universe that's ended
But that you're already dead
Remembering everything at once
Seeing past the limits of your head.
In the seconds it would take to drain
The oxygen from your exquisite brain
A few mere seconds, all your life replays
An intimate refrain.
It isn't just the fireworks of dying neurons firing.
You are slipping from the grip
Of that which kept you in the slow procession.
Now your feathered eyelids open
To behold the whole terrain...
How do you choose your next life?
It may seem your heart has stopped between two beats.
It's not the universe that's ended
But that you're already dead
Remembering everything at once
Seeing past the limits of your head.
Where every future gleams, reflecting every other
Every moment a uniquely blooming world.
In the space between two thoughts
Where every other instant grows
Expanding now into infinity
And every possibility unfurls...
How do you choose your next life?
It may seem your heart has stopped between two beats.
It's not the universe that's ended
But that you're already dead
Remembering everything at once
Seeing past the limits of your head.
In the seconds it would take to drain
The oxygen from your exquisite brain
A few mere seconds, all your life replays
An intimate refrain.
It isn't just the fireworks of dying neurons firing.
You are slipping from the grip
Of that which kept you in the slow procession.
Now your feathered eyelids open
To behold the whole terrain...
How do you choose your next life?
It may seem your heart has stopped between two beats.
It's not the universe that's ended
But that you're already dead
Remembering everything at once
Seeing past the limits of your head.
