Everything Could Change - Seeming

Can I kill the lights and shut off the energy?

'Cause the world is my windmill

It’s my enemy

Can I kill the voice that babbles me to sleep

Warning me that this process never ends?

I’ll be talking when I am dead and soil

And the sound will remain when I carbonize to oil

It’s the ecstasy of flying

Miles above the hungry war

It’s the fear of concentration

Pulling me away once more

It’s the reason that I’m lying to you

Why I can’t sit still

It’s the vaguest implication

Joining this world to my will

And I don’t think I can make this stop

Though everything could change in the world up top

Behind my skin blares a spoken song

Though everything could change, it will echo on and on

I’m a radio tuned to white noise in between

What was hissing in the foreground is now a backdrop screen

And should a river emerge within this cloudy stream

Would it trickle a message that I trust?

Can I know that a soothing word’s not just

The beginning of more grey noise to fill the dream?

There’s uncertainty with every face

I think I’ve seen before

There’s an endless second guessing

What’s behind my bedroom door?

There’s no doubt that every blade of grass

Feels urgency to speak

There is no writing on the wall

In braille through foothills of concrete

And I don’t think I can make this stop

Though everything could change in the world up top

Behind my skin blares a spoken song

Though everything could change, it will echo on and on

I’m no hallucination

Watch out, your vision lies

For every Coelacanth reborn

Nine hundred oceans die

I know the truth is waiting

Somewhere behind the eyes

Narrates beyond the story’s end

Books locked from the inside

And I don’t think I can make this stop

Though everything could change in the world up top

Behind my skin blares a spoken song

Though everything could change, it will echo on and on

And I don’t think I can make this stop

Though everything could change in the world up top

Behind my skin blares a spoken song

Though everything could change, it will echo on and on

(I'm no hallucination

Watch out, your vision lies

For every Coelacanth reborn

Nine hundred oceans die

I know the truth is waiting

Somewhere behind the eyes

Narrates beyond the story’s end

Books locked from the inside)

I don’t think I can make this stop

Though everything could change in the world up top

Behind my skin blares a spoken song

Though everything could change, it will echo on and on

(Dream never in a dream. You are all I need

Your window wide, your soul outside, thrown fast and run far

You’re not alone, you’re higher flown than boys with one heart

Stare at the sun, I’m everyone, I’m bone and feather

I float above the borders of now and forever.)
