The Universe Expands

by Sean Jeffery

/
1.
The universe can do its worst I won't ever say The things I need to say to you I know you'll turn away You're hot, you're cold, you're lead, you're gold Your alchemy disarms My patience thins, now I begin To see right through your charms The universe expands, reality shrinks our plans Life is just what happens while we wring our hands If you change your heart, I'm prepared to chart A trip back to the start of time for you A trip back to the dawn of time for you I've done too much – I've said enough To make you realise I'll never be within your sights We'll always polarise You're hot, you're cold, you're lead, you're gold Your fluctuations – they disrupt And when you voyage to your own world I don't dare interrupt The universe expands, reality shrinks our plans Life is just what happens while we wring our hands If you change your heart, I'm prepared to chart A trip back to the start of time for you The universe expands, reality makes demands Life is just what happens while we're making plans If you change your heart, I'm prepared to chart A trip back to the start of time for you A trip back to the dawn of time A trip back to the dawn of time: would you?

Earthbound 05:09
Take your pure white dreams and Add a sense of realism Then watch all you take for granted Fade away to dust You're as fragile as the rest Just as prone to make mistakes But I know you won't Because I know you'll never fall Despite what You might think You are earthbound Just like everyone Despite what You might think You'll be earthbound When it all goes wrong Take your pastel shades and Add a sense of cynicism Then you'll see the world that Most of us know very well Life's not as perfect as you think But who am I to put you right When you're the solar source Within the system that you rule Despite what You might think You are earthbound Just like everyone Despite what You might think You'll be earthbound When it all goes wrong Despite what You might think You are earthbound Just like everyone Despite what You might think You'll be earthbound When it all goes wrong

Serotonin 04:13
I was waiting for a storm to break On an ocean punctured by snake-tongue lightning Layers of fossils hide beneath the surface Marking aeons thicker than The unreachable depths within your mind Leather wings they pierce the marbled sky V's in funeral black signify no way back Too few lifeboats to cope with all transmissions From the water teeming with the Drowning and the overwhelmed When it seems as though I'll never win Polar light growing fainter When the doubts they permeate my skin Be my serotonin Thought that I could navigate the planet Before being overcome by equilibrium Instead I'm drifting closer to the threshold Will I plunge into space In a universe that science has turned its back upon When it seems as though I'll never win Polar light growing fainter When the doubts they permeate my skin Be my serotonin Be my serotonin Even in the depths of uncertainty I know that you can be the polar light for me Even in the downward slide to insanity When it seems as though I'll never win Polar light growing fainter When the doubts they permeate my skin When it seems as though I'll never win Polar light growing fainter When the doubts they permeate my skin
