Lyrics
By the heating of the sun
By the sound of a gun
I've been undone
By being overheard
With the wrong choice of word
I've been undone
Yes, I've been undone
By the emptiest hole
As I searched for a soul
I've been undone
By the weakness of pain
When I desired to remain
I've been undone
By the clues in my case
By the look on your face
I've been undone
By the sense of too much
By compassion untouched
I've been undone
Like a wire on a spool
I keep on unrolling
A single thread that seems to unwind and unwind
Unravel my clothing
By all the forms that you get
From the Mandelbrot set
I've been undone
By the recursive slaves
In the home of the brave
I've been undone
Though I want to observe
It keeps touching a nerve
And I've been undone
By the past that you trace
By a moment of grace
I have been undone
And I need more information
I need to know what's going on
And I need this information now
So I don't go wrong
Go wrong, go wrong
But how can you smile when it's all gone?
How can you wait? No one will come
Believing in something that doesn't exist
Letting it go, listen and feel
Just listen and feel
By a squeak from a chair
A complete lack of air
I've been undone
Been undone
By a slip of the ice
By a roll of the dice
I've been undone
By the Nazarene with its Turing Machine
I've been undone
By the mitochondrial cell
By the ringing of the funeral bell
I have been undone
And I need more information
I need to know what's going on
And I need this information now
So I don't go wrong
I don't go wrong
And it starts with the spider on the wall
He slides the spheres apart
And opens up the door
Opens up the heart
Oh, the memories showing
Spinning out on the screen
Until the quasar shatters
At this human plane
And it climbs out on the wing
How can you smile when it's all gone?
How can you wait when no one will come?
Believing in something that can never be real
Time to let go, just listen and feel
Just listen and feel
And I feel it in you
You feel it in me
I feel it in you
You feel it in me
I feel it in you
Oh, you feel it in me
I feel it in you
I feel it in you
