if you actually did make contact with intelligent benevolent aliens, what would you do?
lyrics
the ones who walk with weakened knees
believe in things that can't be seen
believe them believe them
on shores of seas in stumps of trees
they hide their message wrapped in cloth
receive them receive them
you know it's true, what they have found
not that far down, in the earth
the aliens are family, and they will wrap their arms
around your dreams
someone will find you sitting here
they'll ask you why you look so scared
and then they'll realize you've seen them for yourself
sun shining through the blinds of the time machine
console window, rattle as the wind blows
unraveling the fabric of reality,
a million marbles spilling through the jar-hole
time travel to the gap in the suture
burst through to bear your future name
birthed through the secret keyhole
I come all the way from the planet of the people
we found the seem between the stream and solid states
and I'm not going to turn around to tell what I found today
the song we've followed for so long leads yonder yet
