[Verse 1] A present that arrived from planet Mars Not a cardboard box but a crimson star box No name written, not a single address line Just a tiny tremor in my hands [Pre-Chorus] If I open it will all the world rearrange Or will I be left alone inside the change Take one long breath and hold it in Slowly I start to loosen every string [Chorus] A present that arrived from planet Mars Dawn-colored light blooms behind my eyes Strange little memories rise and flood my chest Calling back a yesterday that’s not this Who is it ruling over all that endless sky Stars flicker softly like a crooked smile Touching the edge of my mind I wake in a world one micron wide [Verse 2] Inside there’s a single crystal riddle seed When I touch it, every word unspools and flees Calendar lines flicker into shape then fade Future and the past meet and shake hands [Chorus] A present that arrived from planet Mars Colors keep bleeding to the window’s far edge Yesterday’s headlines turn to dreamlike haze Even simple gravity begins to sway Who is it ruling over all that endless sky Questions keep stretching out my changing voice Touching the edge of my mind In a world one micron wide I wait for you [Bridge] If it turns out this was all a borrowed tale Tell me then whose pain will echo through the veil Counting seconds softly with my eyes shut tight “Here we are” we prove it to each other (hey) [Chorus] A present that arrived from planet Mars Some of the boxes still are left unopened Breathing in rhythm, we untie them one by one Let every nameless wish unravel free Who is it ruling over all that endless sky More than any answer I prefer this rush Touching the edge of my mind In a world one micron wide we simply smile
