lyrics

What if I die?
What if I die?

Would I feel, would I know
Would I fly, would I fall?
How will I tell the time when I don't turn on?

Could I turn this consciousness back to purest possibility?
With no measure of success
Worse or better, no conditioning

We come from nothing
Return to nothing
We inherit the presupposition that we've received Nature's preferential treatment
We seem to be the pinnacle of what can know, as far as we can know

We come from nothing
We turn to something

What if I live?
What if I live?

Would I hurt, would I heal?
Would I smile, would I keel over?
How would I count on time when it's not quite real?

Could I turn this consciousness back to purest possibility?
With no memory or stress
Curse or blessing, vital mystery

We come from nothing
How come we're something?
If we come from nothing
How come we’re something?
