Lyrics

When the night falls, and we reach singularity
my eyes feel heavy so I hold you close to me.
I feel the streetlights falling down like rain on my skin
and I’m evolving into a strange new specimen.

CH:
She’s a multicelled conglomerate, balanced in proportion,
a miracle of chemistry…
In an oscillating eigenstate of runaway electrons,
crackling in ecstasy…

In our experiment, we see behind the sky
until it’s easy, and we begin to multiply.
We form a compound in a complex synergy
thrashing to a vision, an amorphous unity

CH:
She’s a multicelled conglomerate, balanced in proportion,
a miracle of chemistry…
In an oscillating eigenstate of runaway electrons,
crackling in ecstasy…
An experiment that merits some close investigation,
a scientific mystery…

Barely touching a field around your eyes,
I pull myself together and begin to realize
this is a question, and this all I need to see
to see the radiation that washes over me.

CH:
She’s a multicelled conglomerate, balanced in proportion,
a miracle of chemistry…
In an oscillating eigenstate of runaway electrons,
crackling in ecstasy…
An experiment that merits some close investigation,
a scientific mystery…
In a resonant relationship with overlapping boundaries
of interlocking gravity.

BR:
A single beat emerging from our spinning binary.
A polyrhythmic pulsing of the seething, primal sea.

When the night falls, and we reach singularity
my eyes feel heavy so I hold you close to me.
Close to me.
Close to me.

Story

A song about love as an astronomical event; an ethereal song of yearning, adoration and mystery.

It was motivated by the streetlight outside and the feeling that by falling in love, I was being squashed very pleasantly into a black hole. It was recorded mostly in a hotel room in Sebring, although I redid the vocals in my parents’ house in Lantana, Florida. You can hear the door knocker clanking in the background of the last verse. I kept it there because miraculously, the noise was in rhythm and seemed almost intentional.
