I woke up in the valley, isolated from space.
Detached from the body, minds wander with no case.
Like a spider, I wove me, a little here, little there.
My memory's rented on hard drives, while this cupboard lays bare.
Tomorrow, I'll leave this valley, but can you stay with me tonight, and I'll be fine.
Into your house I wandered, for they said it'd be so.
Your body replaced by flowers, you isolated in stow.
Surrounded by fluorescence, and synthesized bass.
You finally were brought forth, just in time and convenient place.
Tomorrow I'll go to heaven, but can you stay with me tonight, don't leave my sight.
If I fell from grace, tonight, would you carry me one more time?
Bring me north, and shield my eyes, acclimate my sight.
So I can see the northern lights, my eyes, they were too bright.
Clouded by water rushing white, teach me to be here tonight.
I never did see the northern lights, my eyes were too bright.
Limited by this film of a sky, teach me to be here tonight.
