how do ideas come?
name the source they’re from
when one is right
an infinite are wrong

the key is somewhere near
i have more hope than fear
when one is right
an infinite are wrong

i thought today would bring
but evening turns
despite the effort
and all that i have learned
see the midnight oil that i burn
come to me my gentle whisperer

i’ll touch you as you drift to sleep
i’ll touch you as you drift to sleep

reframe the phenomena
rework the formula
when one is right
an infinite are wrong

how long is this road
to decipher this code
when one is right
an infinite are wrong

the idea

i want to know what it means
reach the underlying theme
of entropy
yeah, it's everything

i want to see my father's eyes
just a moment of quiet life
but that won't be
entropy

must the universe dissipate?
is darkness the only fate of everything?
disorder will always grow
the 2nd law will always show
probabilities lead to the end of heat

i'm singing this is the weight of entropy
this is the weight

i want to hold my mother's hands
i want to see my brothers again
but that won't be
entropy

as entropy drives the arrow of time
feedling life with the energy to climb in complexity
we are the children of entropy

and the universe will unwind
but it evolved the human mind
to look back and see
to view itself through you and me

i'm singing this is the weight of entropy
this is the weight

the weight of entropy

i open the fridge
squint in the light
i don’t really know what what i’m looking for

i leave the door 
swinging wide
the cool air falls to the floor

i reach in your heart
squint in the light  
i don’t really know what i i’m looking for

then i leave you 
hanging open tonight
and you’re losing all your warmth

i can’t surmise
the laws of this game
like watching aristarchus wander in the rain

count down from five
always the same
yeah, but this world of love can never be explained

i can’t measure the sun or moon under these clouds
the silence of not knowing is so loud

i tried to call
i confess
i don’t really know what i wanted to say

i can’t predict
what comes next
the data are in disarray

you tried to call
i’m perplexed
i’m at a loss for what you wanted to say
 
words are a mess
i guess i can guess
i really need a mathematical way

i can’t surmise
the laws of this game 
like watching aristarchus wander in the rain

count down from five
always the same
yeah, but this world of love can never be explained

i can’t measure the sun and moon under these clouds
the silence of not knowing is so loud
i know the world sees everything upside down
but i can’t prove what orbits what under this shroud

so i wander in the rain

aristarchus in the rain

in anse chastenet
near sufriere
we don't care
if the sun goes down

in the western sky
first star tonight
crystalline and bright

we're transient, my dear
here for a little while
walk with me, see
the coastline runs for miles

a starlit night, just you and i
while all things go round and round
round and around
like moons of jupiter

we're lifted off our feet
weightless in the air
we don't care
what we leave below

rising in the dark
shedding who we are
around us only stars

we're transient, my dear
here
in a moment spent

where space and time rhyme
where past and future blend
we're unafraid
our bodies fade

as all things go
round and round
like moons of jupiter

moons of jupiter

this song is gonna make me dream
the microphone make me sing
that beat is gonna make me swing
this stage is going to make me king

then my fear is gonna make me weak
my hunger gonna make seek
this world is gonna make me weep
then my sandman gonna make me sleep

teacher can you set me free?

these keys are gonna make me play
my words gonna make me say
this chorus gonna make me slay
and those doors are gonna make them pay

but money gonna make me light
the pain is gonna make me bite
my fists are gonna make me fight
and all the wrong ain't gonna make me right

teacher can you set me free?

set me free

teacher

i'm folding over my knees
then folding over again
it's time to trace the motion in the air
then time to follow the flow

properties of light
properties of sound
farewell the veil of symbols
farewell all human constructs
hello love

the unsuspended are rising
the silence shapes itself
the empty space is brimming
the dissolution complete

properties of light
properties of sound
farewell the veil of symbols
farewell all human constructs
hello love

the transience is unfolding
birth and death are of the same
traverse the blinding gradient
arriving where we began
hello love

properties of light (hello love)

play that note for me
i want to hear that sound
tap it with a rhythm
come on and lay it down

i feel that river come
and it's calling me
sound is the current
it's washing over me

on and on and on it goes
drifting to a place that no one knows

play a little beat for me
while I can feel the sound
i'm gonna move my body like this
nobody else around

i can't tell if my feet
are even on the ground
so i move my body like this
no one can tear me down

on and on and on it goes
drifting to a place that no one knows

now i'm drifting in the current
on and on and on it goes
drifting to a place that no one knows

the current

life is

i am aware i am aware
lalalalalalala
how am i witnessing myself
lalalalalalala

haha
it's so funny

elements form the human brain
lalalalalalala
but how does matter come to know?
lalalalalalala

hahaha

we stand on all sides of a ball
lalalalalalala
the mass of earth warps time and space
lalalalalalala

vibrating fields of energy
lalalalalalala
we are emergent properties
lalalalalalala

hahaha
it's so funny
hahaha 
life is funny

i am disintegrating now
lalalalalalala
as psilocybin sings its song
lalalalalalala

life is

sentences can say a lot
some are good and some are not
when we finish with a thought
at the end we put a dot
to show it's over

every sentence has to stop
at the end we put a dot
then it's over

mrs luddington once taught
it was clarity she sought
when we finish with a thought
at the end we put a dot
to show it's over

every sentence has to stop
at the end we put a dot
then it's over

stop
the dot tells us to stop
stop

yeah, why you got to act that?
yeah, everybody's so goddamn mad
yeah, the lines form to attack
yeah, the other isn't falling back

the universe isn't here for our comfort
and the universe is indifferent as we suffer

yeah, when did it all begin?
yeah, maybe an original sin
yeah, some people got a beast within
yeah, here we go again

the universe isn't here for our comfort
the universe is indifferent as we suffer
and the universe ain't gonna give us another
in the universe, all we have is each other

yeah, everybody gonna kite that check
yeah, paid to the order of i'm correct
yeah, what we need is love and respect
yeah, then again nobody got a knee on my neck

the universe isn't here for our comfort
the universe is indifferent as we suffer
and the universe ain't gonna give us another
in the universe, all we have is each other

hey hey
hey hey

all we have

it all begins with the study of
what so few understand
but what you love

and all those years you've paid the dues
claims in proportion to the proof

we're here to say we love for your love of the truth
for your love of the truth
yeah, we love for your love of the truth
for the truth

you follow the data where it may go
let it rattle the status quo
yeah this journey began long ago
to push the boundaries of what we know

we're here to say we love for your love of the truth
for your love of the truth
yeah, we love for your love of the truth
for the truth
