THE WIND WAS KIND TODAY

V5.5

[Intro] I don't know why But even the wind Was kind today Same old street Same way I always go And somehow It felt like I'd never seen it before [Verse 1] There was grass Growing through a crack I don't know What it's called Usually I'd walk right past But today I stopped Just to watch it Move in the wind Even the crows Didn't sound annoying For once They sounded Almost like a song Someone blocked The narrow sidewalk Normally That would get to me Today I just smiled “It's fine.” A car went roaring Down the street Yesterday I'd have hated that sound But today Everything around me Sounded alive [Pre-Chorus] A few more blocks And I'd be At Capsule Wave I was thinking About what I'd try What I'd get Nothing important Just an ordinary day So why— Why did the whole world Feel so gentle? [Chorus] Beautiful Everything Was beautiful The wind The shadows Even all The useless noise For no reason I wanted To keep it all I remember thinking— I hope Today lasts forever And then— [B R E A K] BANG. ... eeeeeeeeeeee— ... [Verse 2] What? ... It's dark. I can't see. Hello? ... I can't hear anything. Move your fingers. ... Nothing. My legs— Where are my legs? Did I fall? Was it a car? Did something Hit me? ... Am I dead? [Glitch Build] BANG. ... There. Again. That sound. I've heard it Somewhere before No. Wait. That's not the sound Of something Hitting me It's— Something being— ... Closed. [Drop] BANG! CLICK. [Chorus 2] Where am I?! What am I?! Too small Too dark I can't move! There's something Around me Clear walls Curved walls And faces On the other side They're looking in At me ... Wait. Why am I Inside— No. No, no, no. I'm not inside A capsule with the toy ... I AM THE TOY. [Bridge] Then what was The street? What was The wind? The grass In the pavement? The crows? That person Who wouldn't move Out of my way? I remember them. I remember Being annoyed with them Yesterday. Yesterday? ... Was there A yesterday? I was walking To Capsule Wave. I know I was. Wasn't I? Was I human? Did a human being Become this? Or— ... Was I always this? A little plastic thing With the memory Of being human? [Final Chorus] The world Was kind that day ... Was there Ever a day? Did the grass Really smell like that? Did the crows Really sound like that? Did the cars Really pass me? Was that My life? Or did somebody Put a life inside me? A street A voice A body A name I can't remember A whole ordinary world Small enough To fit Inside A toy [Outro] ... Somewhere far away I hear it again That melody My melody No— Someone's melody ... “I don't know why But even the wind Was kind today...” ... If that wasn't My memory Then— Whose was it? ... BANG. CLICK.
