lyrics

When glitterbugs are waving from the sky
Waves are all around us, everything is rushing by
We're canonized, forgetting where we are
And stones are leaping up towards photomagnetic stars

Everything that's scattered will come home
Brand new and unused
All the forces will gather in the free zone
Unmoved and unknown

We're joining bodies, casting webs around
Matter's great in difference when light distorts to sound
Because we see them we resist the call
But one day I'll wake up flying skywards — anchor, ship and all

Everything that's scattered will come home
Brand new and unused
All the forces will gather in the free zone
Unmoved and unknown
