[intro] [verse 1 ] empty room before my eyes pulled the air out, killed the light no more dust, no more sound still something's here, something's around they call it nothing, they call it void but the silence is a lie, a decoy underneath the stillness, deep and wide an ocean swells that will not subside you can't drain it, you can't flee it is the space, it is the sea calm on the surface, dark below the vacuum hums where nothing shows [pre-chorus] every layer, every field a liquid world the truth conceals electrons dance and photons stream reality is more than it seems [chorus] we are the wave, we are the tide ripples on the field, nowhere to hide not in the world, we ARE the sea the universe looking back at me skin is a lie, a drawn line in sand you are the ocean, understand? matter is motion, nothing is still the field is the only thing that's real [post-chorus] [verse 2] particle, a word we say but a ball of stuff it is not, no way it's a vibration, a splash, a spark the field igniting in the dark whirlpool spinning in the stream not a thing, just a dream can't put a whirlpool in your hand it's the river taking a stand you are that swirl, that twist, that curl a temporary knot in the fabric of the world when the river slows, you dissolve the mystery of what we are resolves [pre-chorus] before the stars, we were here after they die, we persevere no beginning, no farewell the field is all there is to tell [chorus ] we are the wave, we are the tide ripples on the field, nowhere to hide not in the world, we ARE the sea the universe looking back at me skin is a lie, a drawn line in sand you are the ocean, understand? matter is motion, nothing is still the field is the only thing that's real [interlude 1] look at your hand it is not a hand it is the field remembering itself [breakdown] the ocean isn't there the ocean isn't there you are the ocean you are the ocean nothing is empty nothing is gone the field remains when you are done [build-up] [guitar solo] [verse 3] but why does it feel so solid and bright why do the colors seem so right the brain is kind, it builds a wall a pretty picture over it all a hallucination, comfortable and neat so you don't scream when the fields meet what you see is not what's there the truth is more than you can bear [pre-chorus] the colors fade, the walls dissolve the field is all, the field resolves no you, no me, no here, no there just vibrations everywhere [chorus ] we are the wave, we are the tide ripples on the field, nowhere to hide not in the world, we ARE the sea the universe looking back at me skin is a lie, a drawn line in sand you are the ocean, understand? matter is motion, nothing is still the field is the only thing that's real [outro ] the ocean was always you [end]
