[00:00.976]Picture a vacuum
[00:04.122]An endless and unmoving blackness
[00:08.835]Peace, or the absence at least, of terror
[00:14.609]I see, and amongst all this space
[00:17.490]That speck of light in the furthest corner
[00:21.172]Gold as a pharaoh's coffin
[00:24.594]Now follow that light with your tired eyes
[00:26.634]Its been a long day, I know, but look
[00:29.873]Watch as it flickers and it roars into fullness and fills the whole frame blazing a fire you can't bear the majesty of
[00:39.247]Here is our Sun
[00:42.288]And look
[00:43.801]See how the planets are dangled around it
[00:46.288]And held in that intricate dance
[00:48.315]There is our Earth
[00:50.913]Our Earth
[00:53.028]Its blueness soothes the sharp burn in your eyes
[00:56.882]Its contours remind you of love
[00:59.758]That soft roundness
[01:02.112]The comfort of ocean and land mass
[01:06.582]Picture the world
[01:08.665]Older than she ever thought that she'd get
[01:12.335]She looks at herself as she spins
[01:14.411]Arms loaded with the trophies of her most successful child
[01:19.375]The pylons and mines
[01:22.013]The powerplants shimmer in her still, cool breath
[01:27.503]Now, is that a smile that plays across her lips
[01:31.175]Or is it a tremor of dread?
[01:34.038]The sadness of mothers as they watch the fates of their children unfold
[01:41.350]In now
[01:43.156]In fast
[01:44.743]Kaleidoscopic vision
[01:46.061]The colors like drugs in your belly, churning
[01:48.863]Your skin pulled loose as a puck shaken and tighten
[01:51.940]Now everything's flashing and the waves are magnified as they roll up towards you and you're tiny as sand
[01:57.961]Just a speck
[02:00.045]And as you approach the surface, all of that peace that you felt is replaced with this furious never known passion
[02:07.259]You're feeling
[02:08.551]The people, the life, their faces are bright
[02:10.815]In your body, you're feeling
[02:12.897]You want to be close to them, closer
[02:14.978]'Cause these are your species, your kindred
[02:20.480]Where have you landed?
[02:23.103]Uncurl yourself, stand up, and look at your limbs
[02:26.952]All intact, clothed in the fashion
[02:29.854]This is a city, let's call her London(London!)
[02:33.705]And these are the only times you have known
[02:38.673]"Is this what it's come to?" You think
[02:43.400]"What am I to make of all this? "
