Slowly, it's taking me over
And eventually I'll be completely transformed
Diffused in the earth or incinerated and vaporized
It's in the food I eat, in the air I breathe
It's in the people I love and they frighten me
I can see a black shadow shimmering just beneath their skin
Despite my love for them, there's nothing I can do for them
Nor is there anything they can do for themselves
It's slowly encroaching, relentless
Its appetite is endless and will never be filled

Milky Michael, sleepy Michael
Sleepy Michael, milky Michael
Sleepy Michael, milky Michael
Milky Michael, sleepy Michael
Sleepies, close your eyes, close your eyes

Sing song now daddy, please
This old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack paddy-whack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack paddy-whack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

I can see it, but not see it
I can feel it, but not keep it
I can touch it, but not hold it
I can be it, but not know it
I can reach it, but won't touch it (but won't touch it)
I contain it, but release it
I unfold it (I unfold it), but won't see it
I can breathe it, but not taste it
I will lose it, but I'll keep it

In the shadow (in the shadow), in the light pool
In no reason reason (in no reason) for our being
I won't touch it (I won't touch it), I won't hold it
I can be it (I can be it), but not feel it
I can steal it (I can steal it), but not keep it
I can break it (I can break it), but not heal it
I can see it (I can see it), but not see it
I can feel it (I can feel it), but not keep it
I can touch it (I can touch it), but not hold it
I can be it (I can be it), but not know it
I can reach it (I can reach it), but won't touch it
I contain it (I contain it), but release it
I unfold it (I unfold it, I unfold it)

I unfold it, sunrise go away
I don't see it (let's go)
I unfold it all
I don't see it (this place)
(Let's go) I unfold it
I unfold it, reaching, heart beating (I don't see it, let's go)
I unfold it, glorious, the one true King (the one true)
Let's go
Let's go
