The Scientists

Hum

electrified and lit up by an outline of herself

smiling now as only she can be.

she said I made some new connections to astound them all

in ways we've never dreamed about

her lovely hand is glowing from the light inside itself

from soaking in the esters stacked for miles on a single shelf

holding my eyes still so she can see

if all the superundercover custom hybrids got to me

it's too much

you're too late

I want to see it all again

she says eep this benzene ring around your finger

and think of me when everything you wanted starts to end

and I saw living clusters form in pools beneath her feet

invertebrates that only she can see

and I said what on earth are all these ampuls for

she says exactly, we're not gunna wait around here anymore

systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud resend

and I will keep you. I will keep you till the end

set your head down low, watch my ears ring

I will take care of you. I will take care of everything

systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud resend

and I will keep you. I will keep you till the end

set your head down low, watch my ears ring

I will take care of you. I will take care of everything

it's too much

you're too late

I piloted my distance to the ground

and I think I see myself again through a pinhole

but the pinhole captures all of you

and the pinhole captures all of you

it's too much

you're too late
