[Verse 1] In all your travels Have you ever seen a star go supernova? No Well, I have I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the universe Other stars, other planets, and eventually, other life A supernova Creation itself I was there I wanted to see it and be part of the moment And you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum With ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air [Verse 2] I don't want to be human I want to see gamma rays I want to hear x-rays, and I want to I want to smell dark matter Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting, spoken language But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws And feel the solar wind Of a supernova Flowing over me
