Lyrics

There's geysers going off on moons of Saturn
On Mars they're taking samples of the sands
A million stars are slowly dying and imploding
And this suggests how urgent are my plans

I'll balance out my chakras
And ask jesus in my heart
While I try to find my bliss
I'm just a fraction of a part
Of just a little bit of matter holding light
For just a little speck of time
A little bit of matter

They say the sum of energy is constant
Therefore it's incorrect to say I'm lost
They also say that over time all things unravel
So I can't pretend to tell you what I cost

I balance out my passions
And I contemplate my pain
While I organize my thoughts
I'm just a fragment of a grain
Of just a little bit of matter holding light
For just a little speck of time
A little bit of matter

In the face of this how can we ask
With a straight face
What is our purpose
What do we mean
Since every day the light is dimmed by half
Enjoy the light while it still shines
While it still shines

Telescopes we've built
And all the probes we've sent away
Have not yet shown us
A place like ours
Perhaps the only way the universe beholds itself
Is through a human eye
A human eye

Looking inward is a lot like looking upward
Bright lights and lots of darkness in between
I cannot tell you why I want so bad to matter
I can barely even tell you what I've seen

I minimize exposure
And I calculate my odds
Hanging onto life
That's just an intermission in a pause
I'm just a little bit of matter holding tight
For just a little bit more time
A little bit of matter
