[00:06.87]On the first… [...
[00:06.87]On the first…
[00:09.35]On the first day…
[00:13.29]On the first day, God created everything…
[00:16.85]On the first day, God created everything there ever was
[00:25.35]On the second day, God came to take it all back
[00:31.16]Piece by piece
[00:34.16]
[00:50.88]Empty room
[00:55.26]Cast about for a familiar object
[01:02.28]Because my body needs coordinates to move
[01:11.03]
[01:16.84]In the dark
[01:21.26]Range of motion shrivels all around me
[01:28.82]All my nightmares I am slowly being cocooned
[01:39.57]A single calf in the hecatomb
[01:43.70]
[01:59.19]Crescent moon
[02:03.68]Hollowed out of all my fabled insides
[02:11.18]Occam shave me down to primal truth—return me to the womb
[02:22.28]
[02:43.62]The spirit held a magic flask
[02:46.55]Said, "drink it to forget the past"
[02:50.80]"But careful it's a poison batch"
[02:54.46]"Each drop more painful than the last"
[02:58.28]"If you fail you'll wish for death"
[03:01.97]"If you finish: you'll be free at last"
[03:05.80]
[03:06.10]Asa nisi masa
[03:09.06]Asa nisi masa
[03:12.11]
[03:13.68]Asa nisi masa
[03:20.78]Asa nisi masa
[03:26.34]Hello?
[03:26.66]
[03:27.35]Mother pulled from father's ribs, little baby in a crib, hands reaching up
[03:42.01]Before the blinding light is split through the prism of your organs into colors
[03:56.72]All that being and nothingness, on the same möbius strip
[04:03.19]Sleep and waking up
[04:04.65]
[05:06.45]On the first day
[05:11.21]Wipe the blank slate
[05:16.04]And you join the banquet
[05:18.40]Served up helpless on a plate
[05:25.19]But you find your land legs
[05:29.59]And you learn to imitate
[05:34.95]You'll wear any feather and hope that your efforts attract a mate
[05:41.09]
[05:46.85]One day your children find you, locked in the bathroom
[05:56.61]Staring in horror at the reflection of your face
[06:05.84]And you say you're sorry to the guests at your party
[06:16.17]But you can't help wonder, who is this person you celebrate?
[06:21.87]
[07:27.99]And so the light fades
[07:32.93]It's still your birthday
[07:37.78]So blow out your past lives like they're candles on the cake
