Supermassive
A supermassive black hole looks just like a single particle
Just like a single particle, standing at a distance
Standing at a distance
A supermassive black hole looks just like a single particle
Just like a single particle, a tiny little subatomic particle
This is a pattern, this is a pattern, this is just another pattern
This is a pattern, this is a pattern, this is just another pattern
Can you wrap your head around it, can you find the pattern in it?
Look out and see the universe,
Look up and see the universe, look down and see the universe,
Look big and see the universe, look small and see the universe,
Look in and see the universe,
Look inside
Supermassive, supermassive, supermassive, supermassive
We love the patterns of a poem
We love the patterns of a song
We love the patterns of a sunset
The colours of a dawn
Standing at a distance, standing at a distance
We love the patterns of a poem
We love the patterns of a song
We love the patterns of a sunset
The colours of a dawn
This is a pattern, this is a pattern, this is just another pattern
Can you wrap your head around it, can you find the pattern in it?
This is a pattern, this is a pattern, this is just another pattern
Look out and see the universe,
Look up and see the universe, look down and see the universe,
Look big and see the universe, look small and see the universe,
Look in and see the universe,
Look inside
Supermassive, supermassive, supermassive, supermassive
Standing far away, standing far away, standing far away, standing far away
Feel the ripples of their gravity, holding onto just one particle, just a little tiny subatomic particle
The pattern of a supermassive found in a single particle
Feel the ripples of their gravity holding onto just one particle, just a little tiny subatomic particle
This is a pattern, this is a pattern, this is just another pattern
I wouldn’t’ve thought it possible, the pattern of a supermassive found in the smallest particle
Found in the smallest particle
Look out and see the universe,
Look up and see the universe, look down and see the universe,
Look big and see the universe, look small and see the universe,
Look in and see the universe,
Look inside
Pattern finding is our thing, pattern finding is our thing
Is that a pattern?
Is that a pattern?
Is that a pattern or just what we’ve become to see
From when we were a single cell
The pattern of you and me
Equations too complex to solve precisely
The pattern of you and me
Too complex to solve precisely
The pattern of you and me
Look out and see the universe,
Look up and see the universe, look down and see the universe,
Look big and see the universe, look small and see the universe,
Look in and see the universe,
Look inside
Supermassive, supermassive
Too complex to solve precisely
Supermassive, supermassive
A supermassive black hole looks just like a single particle
Just like a single particle, just like a single particle
Supermassive, supermassive
Standing at a distance
Standing at a distance
Standing at a distance
At a distance

Dynamics of a field
This cosmic space here together
all we have here together
moving far from each other
assuming nothing forever
This cosmic space here together
what connects us together
behaving weirdly together
believing only each other
This cosmic space here together
means we have one another
superpositioned together
entangled forever
This cosmic space here together
what keeps us together
in spooky action together
uncertain forever
Email each other
Email each other
Email each other

Past simple
45s on a radio show
Designer clothes from decades ago
A party invite every night
Sleeping in ’til we felt like
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
Living in stone mansions
Leaky skylights, crumbling ceilings
Dropping in unannounced
All our friends live up the street
Music moving feet and soul
Hip hop, jazz, and house vinyl
Beatnik Jam with tea and toast
Drum kit, gat, and double bass
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
Loving every day
Every day a new day
Seeing everything with fresh eyes
Just like a little baby
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it all, we had it all
More than we could ever want
We had it

Tree philosophy
If a tree falls in the forest
and you’re not there to hear it
does it make a sound?
If a storm blows on the ocean
and you’re not there to feel it
does it make a sound?
Just listen
Listen
Listen
Listen
Just listen
Listen
If a bird calls in the city
and no one’s awake yet
does it make a sound?
If a factory blows its smoke stack
and no one’s there to see it
does it make a sound?
An eruption makes the earth quake
and throws ash into the air
And you’re standing at the epicentre
so that’s all that you hear
With eyes closed
and huddled tight
you pray your mother’s safe
But without hope
and without right action
all that’s left is fear
Just listen
Listen
Listen
Listen
Just listen
Listen
If a tree falls in the forest
and no one’s left to hear
does it make a sound?
