[Intro] (Quiet acoustic guitar and deep, atmospheric reverb) [Verse 1] Eighty years of tatami mats sinking into a block of ice A forgotten childhood seeps from the clouds of superposition A faint flutter of wings slips through Laplace’s net Deep in the chest, the vibration of viscera swells like the tide [Verse 2] A hard candy dropped between yesterday and tomorrow Entropy dissolving in the silence of the DMN A shadow standing frozen, still playing the seeker in hide-and-seek Threads of quantum entanglement wrap around my fingers [Chorus] Hush-a-bye, in the wrinkles of space-time Past, present, and future sleep all at once A pale pink night where subject and object are not yet distinct That child’s laughter collapses the wave function Sleep, sleep, within the form of eternity [Verse 3] An aged skull that forgot to cut its losses on memories Lights of the "brain-city" blur in the distance The scent of mud from an alleyway thought long forgotten Scooped up from the sea of "It from bit" [Bridge] The trajectory of a pebble kicked up that day The celestial circles gazed upon that day The swaying of a rocking horse, placed before the mind began to categorize Cast aside consciousness and sink into a universe of mucous membranes [Chorus] Hush-a-bye, snapping the arrow of time Ultimate reality hidden in the folds of oblivion A lullaby swaying in the mesh of dependent origination The gentle reboot of a "self" that is fading away Sleep, sleep, in rhythm with the breathing of the cosmos [Outro] (Tempo slows gradually; fading out amidst the lingering resonance) Inside the clouds of superposition... Goodnight, to all of us... (Quiet noise and the lingering resonance of three harmonious notes)
