lyrics

This will sound insane,
last night a beacon of light took my powers away
Projected through my parents’ house
it found me asleep in my room

Bounced off my skull,
off my headboard,
then off towards the moon

By this spell I’ll slip between and
Swallow the distance
Oh, you’re not impressed

No Earthly spell can penetrate
The layers of anti-fantastical material defenses

I must sound insane,
But I know the space between planets
like knowing a name

Armed with a sextant and compass,
I’ll find what it means to be brave
Pretend that I’m brash, I’m courageous
When I’m just afraid

I will conquer space,
I’ll dine on the substance of starlight
and forget your face

You’ll look at the sky in the nighttime
Unblinkingly search for a sign
wait for the first falling star and then go back inside

Cast this spell and slip beyond
All your inhibitions
Oh, you’re not impressed

No Earthly spell can scrape away
That layers of anti-fantastical material defenses

I’m not impressed
By the way you steel yourself against me
I’m not impressed
By your defensive capabilities
I’m not impressed

I’ll break you down
Into your component parts
I’ll measure every aspect
Of this former heart

That sad old light
My satellite

The real Speed of Sound in Seawater is fast... relatively. This album is the same in that it goes by too fast and you are already putting it on repeat again. :p jason hankins
