about

The alien stole the child. It turned it into one of them. The child started doing bad things more than it used to. It lived on a different planet. It spoke a different language. It was bad.

lyrics

wake from a dream that dissolves in cold light
it’s not morning but something’s shining outside
silver-green from the window, strong wind from the door
leave teddy bear behind, you won’t need him anymore
leave everything behind, don’t you want to explore?
the milky way is a road before you

friend, friend, do you wish to know my purpose?
the future is now, your future is here
friend, friend, do you wish to know my purpose?
and then it leans down and whispers in your ear

you will never speak your native language
spend eternity on a distant planet
where a different beat reverberates
outer space awaits
so walk away with me

wake from a dream, from the husk of your old life
limbs uncurling from a journey in the long night
you test your new body, crawling on autopilot
into a crystal city lit with ultraviolet

friend, friend, do you wish to know your purpose?
excellent experiment, it’s time to rejoice
friend, friend, do you wish to know your purpose?
let’s see your wingspan, let’s hear your voice

now i speak in shape and symbol
an infinity is small and simple
and i know i need a new playmate from the human race to walk away with me

you will never speak your native language
spend eternity on a distant planet
where a different beat reverberates
outer space awaits
so walk away with me
