Open your eyes again for a moment
To the detail of this world
Each tiny insect breathing
Each lipid, leaf, and furl
You see it for a second
Then fall back asleep
We see it for eternity
The detail of this landscape
Floating... Screaming... Awareness
All the time
How we envy you humans
When you gently close your minds
You fly into a thing you call boredom
A talent oh so rare
Anything you don't want to see
You quietly ignore
A trillion tons of flaming force
A furnace, nuclear
You turn into a children's song
"Twinkle, twinkle little star"
Floating... Screaming... Awareness
All the time
How we envy you humans
When you gently close your minds
You build your little fairy stories
As shells around your mind
To keep at bay infinity
And never ending time
You're almost deaf and blind
Your lives are so short
Teach us how to end it
Teach us how death is called
Floating... Screaming... Awareness
Of everything, all the time
How we envy you humans
When you gently close your minds
