Arjen Anthony Lucassen’s Star One
Prescient
[Abe: Michael Mills]
[Aaron: Ross Jennings]
[Abe:] Here let me show you –
Even though a mere 3 days have passed
This protein, it typically takes 6 years to amass
[Aaron:] Abe, I'm trying, I really am
[Abe:] Now, all the lab guys don't believe –
They think that it's a joke
So I put my watch inside
And counted back the strokes
[Aaron:] Honestly, it's just hard for me to understand
[Abe:] Yes I know but take a look here
At the hands...
[Aaron:] No, I believe you
I really do, but let's not overreach
This thing is not just purе mechanics and/or heat
[Abe:] Back and forth insidе a loop
[Aaron:] Right, so we build a box
That's big enough to fit into?
Something private and secure...
You know what we could use?
[Abe:] I want you to see it, trust me though
I'm not pranking you
[Aaron:] Abe, who is that?
What the... who is... is it you?
[Aaron:] Who cares is every moment isn't perfect?
It hasn't disappeared...
We can reverse engineer things
Making every 'choice' immaculate and ideal
So what if every perfect moment, isn't
That moment reappears and...
The chances infinite
We can just keep on going back –
Relive the past until we time it tight. Get it right
[Abe:] We should just play the market –
Let's not interfere
[Aaron:] (to himself) Capture every word
[Abe:] We'll hide ourselves
Until our doubles disappear
[Aaron:] (to himself) All you saw and heard
[Abe:] I don't believe in predetermined destiny
[Aaron:] Well tell me which is worse
[Abe:] Thinking you're paranoid
Or knowing you should be?
[Both:] Zero – photon – hero – gluon
[Aaron:] I know exactly every act and variant
I'm all-encompassing now — I am prescient
[Aaron:] One journey after another
All over and under, mere hours behind
[Abe:] Enter the fail safe
[Aaron:] One falls back into the other
Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned
[Abe:] And try again
[Aaron:] One journey after another
All over and under, mere hours behind
[Abe:] Exit the fail safe
[Aaron:] One falls back into the other
Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned
It's all intertwined
[Both:] A end — B end and A end B...
On we go again
[Aaron:] I think I'm getting used to
All these 30-hour days
But I can't get my hands to work
I just scrawl across the page
[Abe:] Aaron, how can you have no fear?
[Aaron:] I can drug and hide my doubles
As I reappear
If only I could somehow stop
This bleeding from my ears...
[Abe:] I can't stop you, but Aaron
Don't ever come back here
[Aaron:] I'll build a bigger one
Go back entire years!
[Aaron and Abe:] Who cares if
Every moment isn't perfect?
It hasn't disappeared...
We can reverse engineer things
Making every 'choice' immaculate and ideal
[Abe:] I don't believe in predetermined destiny
[Aaron:] Tell me which is worse
[Abe:] Thinking you're paranoid
Or knowing you should be?
[Aaron:] One journey after another
All over and under, mere hours behind
[Abe:] Destroy the fail safe
[Aaron:] One falls back into the other
Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned
[Abe:] And start again
[Aaron:] One journey after another
All over and under, mere hours behind
[Abe:] Destroy the fail safe
[Aaron:] One falls back into the other
Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned
It's all intertwined
[Both:] A end — B end and back to
A end, B end and...?
