Non-Euclidean Lullaby

V6

[Verse 1] Close your eyes, the parallel lines are starting to meet The floorboards are curving away from your feet The four walls of your bedroom are widening to five Where the shadows are breathing and angles alive Don't look for the horizon, it’s bended and bowed Just step off the edge of the straight, narrow road [Chorus] [Haunting Harmony] Hush now, little one, don't make a sound In the spaces where up is the same way as down The shortest distance to morning, you'll see Is a curve through the dark where the shapes wander free Sleep in the bend of the universe tonight Where the shadows are heavy and the darkness is bright [Verse 2] Count the steps to the doorway, you’ll find there are none For the end of the journey is where we begun The clock on the wall ticks a circular square And your blanket is woven of starlight and air So drift through the lattice, dissolve through the floor You’ll wake up tomorrow right outside the door [Chorus] [Hypnotic Echo] Hush now, little one, don't make a sound In the spaces where up is the same way as down The shortest distance to morning, you'll see Is a curve through the dark where the shapes wander free Sleep in the bend of the universe tonight Where the shadows are heavy and the darkness is bright [Verse 3] The ceiling is deeper than the midnight outside The dimensions are folding with nowhere to hide The shadows have texture, the silence has weight As reality warps at the edge of the gate So let go of logic, let geometry fade And sleep in the cradle the cosmos has made [Chorus] [Fading, Ethereal] Hush now, little one, don't make a sound In the spaces where up is the same way as down The shortest distance to morning, you'll see Is a curve through the dark where the shapes wander free Sleep in the bend of the universe tonight Where the shadows are heavy and the darkness is bright [Outro] [Whispered] Straight lines bend... Where we begin is where we end... [Music fades out into ambient silence]
