lyrics

Verse 1, Chuckie Campbell

In an endless dream this feels like pain
My eyes engage and can't escape
Infinity opens and sings me songs,
swims timeless laps and then dissolves
Facades un-thaw and drip from stars
Volumes swell and become my arms
They press my hands on walls of sound,
a world not flat, but still not round
Knows not what I am, but words of grace
If I look close enough, I can see my face
The rain cascades and paints my tears
Songbirds sing and fill my ears
with maps and numbers and places to go
Journey to mecca to build my home
I'd give it all up, if the water was free
and so would the people who think like me

Verse 2, Chuckie Campbell

Empty or full the songbird says
It depends on whether we're free or dead
Would you rather shake hands or shake your head?
Experience Eden or stay in bed?
Prepare for the worst or expect the best?
If you knew such things, would you settle for less?
God love you or hate you, exist at all?
Is what you believe, your highest thought?
Does two plus two equal four
if the value of two isn't two anymore?
Conceptual simples aren't concrete laws
so the value of two is a relative clause
I hope you're still there, not totally lost
and the effect of this song complements your cause
Here on an Odyssey, we shall march
'til the light switch either turns on or off
