When the world is ending, I'll be peeling a little orange A beautiful spiral, the color of the burnt sun In the middle, in its core I see the Earth below
3.
Holding on, Sometimes we hold so hard. Yesterday's gone, Tomorrow is so far Tell myself Today is all I need On the edge of something Wanna fall inside, never reach the ground When I hit it I'll know it's time to go back home I will say it's fine, but it really won't Leave my mind. Holding on, We hold on forever To shapes and names and places, faces and years Let me go, Please just let me go. All the cups are in the sink for you And all you really wanna do is Walk around the block One or two times
4.
There's someone watching me from a window across the street I am not afraid Maybe I'm crazy There's someone watching me From far, far away From there I look like a speck of dirt on the Earth Far, far away. Maybe I'm crazy.

Dirt Nap 04:15
Finding this body its shadows growing You are being gently removed, fiercely lured here By one with plastic flowers for a soul Has a way with many words, breaks bodies after death Forming the thought: "I thought I woke up, but I didn't actually wake up"
6.
Skins of fishes Shine in the night A beacon of light For poor beached souls Many, many, many Tumbling around Like rocks before gems, Like glass before dull enough to pocket Many, many, many
7.
Thought I saw you on a sand dune I get hungry, I get thirsty.
8.
Bathe in the vibration, do it every second it never stops You might get an illusion, but an illusion is... Like a cobra in a basket, I'm charmed by the sound The Devil pays attention to what hypnotizes the soft, soft mind. My soft mind. In the distance I notice a not quite white light... It calls to me constantly I don't know why it scares me, I've seen it already.

Be good.
