Strange New World: You are an alien visiting the Earth. Write about what you found.

lyrics

The bed you still lay
Dare not to move
Don’t be afraid
If you find someone else awake
Because I found you

Don’t hold your breath
Cautiously rise
Look past the window
At the middle of the field
Now you are so paralyzed

Dead in the night
Lingering light
Shapeless in form
There’s something outside

The clock doesn’t work
As you’re taking a drive
It’s driving you mad, though,
I’m hiding in the shadows
Of your paranoid mind.

Are you alone?
Are you so sure?
You look all around
And you shook the very ground
That made you bolder

What have you done?
What have you seen?
You know far too much;
Now you can’t run from me.

I’ll bring you to my ship
And strap you on my bed
Perhaps I’ll take a snip
From the tip
Of your head

Collect it in a jar
And catalogue the lobe
I’ll stitch you back again
And ditch you at the end
Like you never left home

——

Where have you gone?
Was it a dream?
These are the thoughts
I’ve been reading through the box
That tells me all that you see.

Eyes looking back
Whispering words
Nothing’s the same
Since you’ve been taken away
From your predictable world

Secrets you save
While I observe
You better behave
Soon I’ll return

I’ll bring you to my ship
And strap you on my bed
Perhaps I’ll take a snip
From the tip
Of your head

Collect it in a jar
And catalog the lobe
I’ll stitch you back again
And ditch you at the end
Like you never left home
