Waves pass through the water
While sound glides through the air
The 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
♪
Good days are when I laugh
And the light travels fast
The ether is thin then
And allows the light to thunder past
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 the 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 the lower nights
♪
Light passes through the ether
As my emotions allow
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 the 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 the 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
