I once heard a song it went "twinkle, twinkle, little star"
Oh, what power
What wonderous, naive strength
Take a billion, trillion tons of flaming matter and turn it into a children's lullaby
Building little worlds, building little stories and little shells around your mind
How do I close my eyes
Teach me how to die
All you humans have perfected the art of ignoring everything
You're all blind and almost deaf and almost dumb
All so numb
Do you know how it is to be aware, to be engulfed in endlessness
Without those little shells around your mind to keep infinity at bay
And keep you from waking up screaming
How do I close my eyes
Teach me how to die
My name is Arthur
