I saw someone one day out of the corner of my eye I blinked, and they were gone I went looking for them, but I heard only voices. I sat down to think, or, maybe, to hide. And eventually, hesitantly, I crept outside. I looked at the building, the brightly lit place where I had just been. My back faced the parking lot I turned around. It was so quiet. I wondered if, perhaps, whoever I'd seen might be somewhere in one of those cars. And there was a red car, for some reason, that stood out to me. But I knew that it was just my mind telling me one thing or another like it always did... Some obsessive- compulsive pull in some meaningless direction, causing me to fixate, only briefly, on a random color... just because... who knows? So I ignored it, for I knew it meant nothing-- just a silly game, a distraction that my mind was playing. And so, instead, I scanned the lot. I looked to my left I walked. ...and before I turned the corner, I stopped. For some reason, I chose not to look back. I knew that there was no one there behind me... again, just something that my brain wanted me to think about for a simple second, but I resisted because it was just...nothing. But I didn't want to turn again, so I just stood still For just a minute I didn't know where I was going, but I looked up, and there was an opening in the brick ceiling. No stairs... I wondered, I knew: "...this was the place." And so, again I thought, staring up into the stars, "the vacant spot... how could I reach the top?" It wasn't very far above. And so, then, I jumped It wasn't high enough, though, and so I stopped a while to think again, then jumped again, then jumped again, and on the fourth try, somehow, I got further up into the sky. I jumped so high that I made it through, and stood up now onto the roof. No one was there-- Just an empty square. I wanted to go back down, and I looked back down there... And though I felt too vulnerable to go any further, I knew I had to go somewhere. I don't even know how I'd gotten there. I didn't walk for a while; I just sat still. And I sat on the ground, for fear of being seen, and somehow, the ghost appeared to me. Perhaps he wasn't a ghost at all, but he began walking toward me slowly, casually, calmly, cool... and it seemed that there was nothing I could do. The hole from which I'd come had closed, I sat upon the roof now, waiting for whoever it was to come and greet me, or whatever it would do. I shook because I knew that they were made of ice, and they stopped right in front of me, and gave me their advice: they said, "Don't worry anymore; don't fear," and then they disappeared.

Oh, there’s a certain little corner of space you can go into I’m not gonna come looking after you Trust me, it won’t be something you'll not wanna do in the end It’s space, celestial space Space, celestial space Into the celestial Oh, I thought I knew where you were coming from But I know so little Oh, I think Oh, it’s ok, oh it’s ok Oh, it’s ok, oh it’s ok Go on, Stand up Keep going faster than you’ve gone before I can’t take it no more Oh, stand up! Or sit down Get up! Stand your ground It’s gonna hurt But trust it’ll be worth it. It’s gonna hurt But trust it’ll be worth it.

Eternity 07:26
No one can tell you that you have to go It’s not a decision they’ve been told That they can make for you, so don’t pay them mind, Because, trust me, you don’t want to know About all of the things going on in their minds Because they don’t have you front and center They’ll pretend they care so much But they don’t care at all I remember…the day I found you Oh, where I went to wasn’t important until I met you I swear there was a difference, a big, big, big difference There was a difference, there was a difference, There was a big, big, big, big difference. Can you recall the last thing we talked about? I want to say this is the most important thing that’s ever happened to me You helped me see it through I can’t find the time to believe even though, you know, this isn’t the way,-- I figured it out I know which path to go down Never a moment to waste because it wasn’t like that, NO! I saw you there, we dreamed out loud, we didn’t care! It was the best decision we could’ve made together So we did, then I got sick But if I’m your friend Let’s just pretend It’s not there Who-what-when-where? It's not fair Then it's alright again, Oh, again Now I go... Pretend you know There’s a lot of ways that we can go Go far, never saying the last thing on your mind It was the last thing on your mind. Something happened over the past hour as I was lying in bed after waking up that I am not sure how to explain to you. I had a vision of eternity. In retrospect, I know I have waited through my entire Being of Self to have had these thoughts. I am going to be different now, but in the best way. I am going to be fully me more than I've ever been, and so will you. That was the essence of the vision--I didn't dream it, but my mind sped through the thoughts and images. Sometimes I will become ill and won't have the energy to align with the themes of my vision, but I necessarily will return to it, to that place of my understanding of eternity. It literally will never end, and I know the secret as to why. I think you will learn the secret from me, but you won't know it's the secret, and I won't know that you are learning it, and vice versa. But I'm so glad we finally found each other. We are the keys to each other, and we will, necessarily, never forget that, because... ...the memories of Eternity are of the f u t u r e . . .

"the thing" 02:20
Oh, the sun will shine Don't ask me where or when, but in time. You'll see it for yourself It will be like the biggest smile You've ever witnessed in real life This is not technological It's more symbolical, Morse Code And the light will shine All across the city And come will the time It will be such a pretty thing, Don't worry.

Oh, we’re in The Celestial We reached out for time And in return We got a box of golden fire We drew the blind and took it all off In the celestial Oh, We ventured afar (ventured afar) to find our hearts (to find out hearts) and best of all (and best of all) to find the celestial. Nothing else matters to us now We got time for this and that and that is how We found the right thing for us and our power We’re unstoppable, we’re infallible In the sense that we are so valuable And we value all of our hearts and souls Above all the world. In the celestial Right now, don’t worry about how Take the scene in like wow That’s what’s been missing, some shout-outs So shimmy shimmy shimmy up, hear me now Thousands of cities sound in unison I’ve seen these singers sing in big wide reiki rounds About how What they’re singin’ about Will wash out, burn down And grow back any way you want it Look at the clock, tickety tock But we’ll never sto-op Hammer nails, dice and chop up I like the sound of it all We’re breaking down the old walls To build the new cathedrals It’s as messy as it sounds, it’s a mess here on the ground It’s a mess and there’s no way ‘round it Oh, here in the celestial Brick by brick, cemented, building up our spirits, (you don’t wanna miss this) In the celestial brick by brick, cemented, building up our spirits, (you don’t wanna miss this) in the celestial. Brick by brick, cemented, building up our spirits, (you don’t wanna miss this) in the Celestial In the Celestial In the Celestial In the Celestia; We’re in the celestial in the celestial in the celestial in the celestial in the celestial in the celestial in the celestial in the celestial in the celestial in the celestial In the Celestial

Take me Put some shoes on my hands Let's walk with our eyes Can you see, the moon came out early today It's gonna be cloudy skies We better prepare, because you know what's coming I feel no one ever listens even though they say "knowledge is power," but what do they know? Take a back seat, take a ride and drive When will we know We've got to say What's on our souls Because today will come and go as fast as falling snow The rain will say, "I'll see you again, in the shape of everything you've ever wanted but can't have." It's gonna make you so sad. But in the end, it will soon be so much fun There will be carnival rides, endless things to do, endless adventure. Keep going on the trail and you'll find Your piece of the pie Go a little further, and you'll see every vision you've ever spoken of with just luck and a fire place you'll be able to scry into your mind.

Sosoodd 07:12
I waited all my life It never came So when I died I saw it framed It arrived in a beautiful package in the fire. I opened it up guess what it was? It wasn't enough I don't know what of But the day I saw you Was the same day I knew The same day I knew... Who would be the one to show me the right way to go. I swear, I swear, I swear I know I swear, I swear, I swear I know I swear, I swear, I swear I know. You opened up the door for me. But plainly as I could see, love wasn't anywhere to be found. So, so odd, yeah So, so odd, is it not? So, so odd, yeah So, so odd, is it not? So, so odd So, so odd So, so odd.

I'm gonna speak my heart and ask... "where were you when I needed you?" You must have been doin somethin grand, on a planet somewhere else, it only makes sense that's what you were doing when I called you, again. Oh, I must admit, I waited so long, too long Where were you when I needed a friend?
