^BbThink of these thoughts as ^Flimitless light Ex^Bbposing closing ^Fcircuitry of fright ^BbThink of each moment ^Fholding this breath As ^Bbdeath ^Ebminute in ^Fdecimal

*play two Gs an octave apart twice*

^BbResident minor ^Fhow do you plead We'll ^Bbneed your testi^Fmony on the stand [service of the fee fi fo fum] ^BbSolemnly swear to ^Ftell the whole truth So ^Bbhelp you ^Ebson now ^Fraise your right ^Bbhand

*play two Gs an octave apart twice*

^BbFather your honor ^Fmay I explain My ^Bbbrain has claimed its ^Fglory over me ^BbI've a good heart al^Fbeit insane ^BbCondemn him ^Ebto the in^Ffirma^Bbry

*flip pages rapidly* *play two Gs an octave apart eight times* *have ambient conversation* *make a racecar approach*

^CmAll mine towers ^Gcrumble down the ^Cmflowers gasping ^Gunder rubble ^CmShrieking in the ^Ghall of lull thy ^Cmgenius sates a t^Ghirst for trouble

^BbScattering sparks of t^Fhought energy De^Bbliver me and c^Farry me away ^BbHere in my kingdom ^FI am your lord I ^Bborder^Eb you to ^Fcower and ^Bbpray

*fiasco*

^CmNuns commence in^Gcanting [axon – dendrite] as th^Cme lightning strikes mine ^Gtemples thus ^CmElectrifying mine ^Gchambers wholly ^Cmscorching out thine ^Gsovereignty So... ^Cmspiraling down thy ^Gmajesty I ^Cmbeg of thee have ^Gmercy on me ^CmI was just a ^Gboy you see I ^Cmplead of thee have ^Gsympathy for me

^CmSee how the serfs work the ^Ebground [see how they fall] And they g^Abive it all they've ^Ebgot And they ^Abgive it all they've ^Ebgot And you ^Abgive it all you've ^Ebgot 'til you're ^Gdown

^CmSee how the brain plays ^Ebaround And you ^Abfall inside a ^Abmhole you couldn't ^Ebsee ^G7 And you ^Abfall inside a ^Abmhole inside a ^GSome^Abone ^Bbhelp ^Cmme ^AbUnderstand what's ^Abmgoing on in^G7side my ^Cmmind ^AbDoctor I can't ^Abmtell if I'm not^Eb me

^BbWhen it grows bright the ^Fparticles start to ^BbMarvel having ^Fmade it through the night ^BbNever they ponder ^Fwhether electric ^BbCalming ^Ebif you ^Flook at it ^Bbright!
