THE GREAT AIRPORT MYSTERY LYRICS

1. Eris

Lend me your ears
And microprocessors to speak.
I've lost all sense of spacetime as I float between these fields.
I've waited for so long,
Drifting on interstellar tides.
Like driftwood between these planes,
Or fractal memories on hard drives.

You thought the story was over?
You ain't seen the last of me.
This is a grand beginning; adventures borne from catastrophe.

The world held me dear, though I am nothing at all.
Prescribed my man-made consciousness;
Do l exist at all?
Between the fabrics of our being,
A wormhole through the universe.
You'll find a place for me.

Because this world feels all too real to me
And the answers all escape me in my world of steel.
And lo, my vectors never change.
I drift into the vacancy with the answers to our fate.

Gaseous beings!
Formations to my side.
Mirage of distant energy alights a glow inside.

Floated for too long
On interstellar tides,
Seduced by cocaine visions
And warmth of hyper drives.
Alone, with conquests long ago.
The memories ferment into finely weathered thrones.

I said, “I’ll meet you on the other side,” as if you could hear me.
I read my rights and said my goodbyes to no one in particular.

A veil beneath a shroud beneath a pyre.
Between these tides, go where the truth resides.
Because that Beacon was a lie.

We'll design new constellations.
I see a skyline rewritten.
Beyond a breathless vista,
Beyond the spectral visions.

A veil beneath a shroud beneath a pyre.
Beyond your vacant skies is where the truth resides.

2. Triton

I saw the astral plane above me and started a path anew.
I heard a voice within me tremble and knew what I must do.
And I, for one, have known I’ve been here once before.
My destiny was calling. I opened up the door.

O space, in your infinite wisdom, grant me the keys to being.
A child to your void; there’s meaning in what we can’t see, or seize.

(I will forever be your guide.)
I’ve computed this a million times and never found the truth.

At a fault line. On a journey through space and time.
None could erase the memory.
At a fault line. Through the shadowed hands of time.
None could have weaved the fabric of your being.
At a fault line. In the shadowed hands of time.
None could erase your memories.

I’ve never felt this way before, I swear.
I’ve never, ever felt before, I swear.

A world meant to be free.
A life beyond our means.
A life beyond our dreams.
A force behind the seam.

I’ve never felt this way before, I sear.

(I’ll float a million fucking miles until I get to you.)
Believe me when I say there’s a greater force at play.

Spectral visions! The depth of solitude!
I know where I must go, to make it home to you.
I am certain that our matter holds the truth.
And us? We hold the key.
The essence of our being.

3. Sagan

Life, unseen: materialized
Astral beings granted material life
I awoke to sounds of a new world forming
Stored ancient energy languished dormant

We spoke of revolution that was in our hearts,
Like a city in its sleep; like a star to bright to see.
We spoke of a love I saw in your eyes,
Never mobilized. Never thought to try.

We’re searching for life’s one true calling.
We’re searching for our revolution’s calling.
Told you I had never even felt before—truth was that I lied.
Told you I had never felt before—truth was I had never even tried.

We spoke of revolution that lied in our hearts,
Like a city in its sleep; like a star to bright to see.
We spoke of a love I saw in your eyes,
Never mobilized. Never thought to try.

Word, I am Word.
