The Propagation of Light (Through the Ether of Emotion) -

Waves pass through the water

While sound glides through air

But light through the ether

Is how it gets from here to there

They say the ether is made of

Something beyond a girl

But what a surprise to find

It’s actually made up of the way I feel

(Verse Two)

Good days are when I laugh

And the light travels fast

The ether is thin then

And allows the light to thunder past

But lately the billowing sadness

That blackens my heart

Slows it all down and then

It makes the light, it makes the light go dark

Speed of thought

Speed of fright

Speed of nothing

The speed of constant…

Light got caught speeding

Drop its phase

Drop its physics now

Just like her lower day

Slow the flash

Slow the beam

Slow the photon

The slowing of the…

Stream got caught slowing

It’s alright

It’s a universe

Just like her lower nights

(Verse Three)

Light passes through the ether

As my emotions allow

And now that the people know

They cheer me up by sending flowers

But these days the torrents of sadness

That blacken my heart

Slow it all down and then

It makes the light, it makes the light go dark

Speed of thought

Speed of fright

Speed of nothing

The speed of constant…

Light got caught speeding

Drop its phase

Drop its physics now

Just like her lower days

Slow the flash

Slow the beam

Slow the photon

The slowing of the…

Stream got caught slowing

It’s alright

It’s a universe

Just like her lower nights

Light’s all bent

Light’s all blamed

Light’s all hammered

The blindness of the…

Shamed wish for lighting

But there’s none

Blessed darkness

For all the enlightened ones
