lyrics

[Song for my shadow]
Sometimes I feel like my shadow needs a hug
She's got it in her head she isn't good enough
The way she haunts me I think she really wants me to stay

In the light I know she'll always be right there
But in the dark it's like she could be anywhere
She's awful quiet and I don't quite buy it when she says:

"I'm afraid of getting better
What if I lose who I am?
What if everything I love is a hologram?"

I don't know what to say to that
I'm just like "yeah that sure would stink"
I just hope she knows she's not as powerless as she thinks
As she thinks

[Moon Behind a Cloud]
You've never been one for introspection
I've never been very good in crowds
You opened your heart to get my attention
But it was hidden like the moon behind a cloud

There's a non-zero chance
That we will make the same mistakes again
There's a non-zero chance
That I love you anyway
There's a fire burning in my heart forever
And it'll never go out
I don't really go out

[Little Red Box with The Answer Inside]
And I've seen something clandestine
In the inner world's perfection
To explain the mystery is to love the mystery less
I know the pits of despair may destroy me
Until I am illuminated
She holds out her hand to light up the path
And I've seen dysfunction
In the face of lava spilling down the hillside
Did you see it too?

For you have experienced
An embryonic state of the universe
And you have experienced
The beautiful awakening of truth
And you have seen
The undivided mission of demagogues
And the wrath of an unconscious mind
Many unconscious minds

(For nothing comes of anything
But novelty and Early Spring
Nothing comes of anything
But clarity and Early Spring
Nothing comes of anything
But you.)
