Lyrics

Jill:
We'd experiment and play in dimensions far away
But a toll was being taken on our minds
We didn't notice for so long but bit by bit things they went wrong
And in our ardor had ignored important signs

We were cracking but the worst was poor Asha who broke first
Little ticks had multiplied and piled up
Till at last, she broke it's true, we didn't know what we should do
And the days of innocence were finally done

Sometimes I dream, magazines, smiling starlets
Glamour and haze, how they wave
From the days that are now long since swеpt

Dazzle and shine, lost lives, oncе upon a memory
Till sad old ladies alone
In a dark home is all that is left

...

Michael: It's been weeks since the gnome war
Jill: Weeks? It's been months
Lloyd: Jill, Michael, it's been years. We've been here for years
Jill: I think something's happening to our minds
Michael: Have you noticed our ticks are---
Raven: Come quick! It's Asha!

Jill: Asha!
Michael?: What's happening?
Jill: It's a seizure, make sure she doesn’t bang her head
Lloyd: We should get her to a hospital
Raven: Her seizure is causing a small reality storm around her, look
Michael: It's stopping
Lloyd: Asha, Asha, are you ok?

Asha: You try and try, you try the best you can, you try...... best you.... best you...

Jill: We need William
Raven: How do we even call him?
Lloyd: I'm going to find him and bring him back
Jill: Lloyd the places he goes it's too dangerous

Asha: Best you can best you can

Lloyd: You don’t think I'd die for her? For any of you? I'm going
Raven: Lloyd, I beg you. I'll go mad without you!
Michael: David he's right we need William, he has to do it
Jill: Good luck

...
Michael: David wasn't kidding he's going crazy without Lloyd!
Jill: William warned us not to stay here any longer. He said it would mess with our minds. I think we've changed in ways we can’t unchange. David's not even David anymore. He's Raven all the time now
Michael: I wonder how Lloyd's fairing...
Jill: Oh no, Asha's having another seizure!

Asha: Aaaaahaaahaaaah

...

Michael: David are you ok?
Raven:
My mind's unraveling and I'm spiraling and unfurled
Without Lloyd all is existential isolation
I crave for sex and wild abandonment to scream
And drown myself in chaos and hyper stimulation

Only noise and mad indulgence can disguise
My slow descent from tears to empty degradation
And all I'll ever know is desperation as
I try to find distraction to avoid stagnation

Michael and Jill (over Raven's second verse):
We're all unraveling it's all becoming so unfurled (We're all unraveling it's all becoming so unfurled)
Our paradise is crashing into desolation (our paradise is crashing into desolation)
I lived in Eden full of love and full of dreams (I lived in Eden full of love and full of dreams)
And now it's capsizing in bombs of desolation (and now it's capsizing in bombs)

Michael and Jill together:
We had love and the groove
We had mojo and moves
We knew Eden for just a short time
And now it's all crashing down
Paradise spinning round
That we have for the time of our lives

Raven (over Michael and Jill):
When the story of your life becomes unfurled
And you find that it was just a fabrication
And all you loved or thought you had or thought you lost
Was just an exercise in baseline exploitation

Jill:
We had love and the groove
He had mojo and moves
We knew Eden for just a short time
And now it's all crashing down
Paradise spinning round
Requiem for the time of our lives

Michael (over Jill):
Transcendents stupendous hyperdelic consensus
Level with the groove movin through in our hearts
Where shamans in lands past where the last signposts stand
We got the love holding us in our hearts

Raven (over Michael/Jill):
Whatever noble's journey that you're on
Is just a drunken run from tears to degradation
And all you'll ever know is desperation as
You try to find distraction to avoid stagnation

Asha (over everyone): Aaaaaaaaaah
...

Jill with William?:
But at long last Lloyd returned
With William looking so concerned
And he took Asha cradled her within his arms
He said, "I'll take her now with me"
He said, "I'm going to try and see
If I can heal her if she hasn't gone too far”

He said, "It's time you all must leave
You must go back to level three
Find some narratives and get your heads aligned
The time will come for you at last
To set upon the higher paths
But for now, you all must rest and stabilize”

All (quietly):
Come on with the love and the groove
We got mojo and moves
We got magic like you've never seen
Things are happening so wild
They would just blow your mind
We got love and we got us a dream

Come on with the love and the groove
We got mojo and moves
We got magic like you've never seen
Things are happening so wild
They would just blow your mind
We got love and we got us a dream

Come on with the love and the groove
We got mojo and moves
We got magic like you've never seen

Jill, over second Chorus verse:
Sometimes I dream, magazines, smiling starlets
Glamour and haze, how they wave
From days that are now long since swept

Dazzle and shine, lost lives, once upon a memory
Till sad old ladies alone
In a dark home is all that is left
