Extremis

[Intro: Ken Marshall (spoken)]
The city shimmers above me in a thousand points of light; and, above it, stars­—countless in number—some kind of an alien maybe

[Verse 1: Gillian Anderson]
Atom by atom
Molecular beings
Transport me away
To the place of my dreams

A point in space
Where time is still
Colliding worlds
In limbo until

(Extremis)

[Verse 2: Gillian Anderson]
A melting of minds
A cerebral mesh
A union of liquid
And virtual

Flesh

[Verse 3: Gillian Anderson]
Automaton love
Your caress is pneumatic
I'm a slave to your touch
My response automatic

The circuits burn out
And a paradigm shift
Isolation
My emotions drift

[inhalation and exhalation]

[Verse 4: Gillian Anderson]
Clarity fades
And my faculties haze
Deep down [?]
Hound me for days

(Extremis)

[Break]

[Verse 5: Gillian Anderson]
Your reasons are noble
A quintessence of lust
In the arms of angels
My dreams turn to dust
(Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust …)

(Extremis)

(Dust, dust, dust)

(Extremis)

[Outro (spoken): Gillian Anderson, Ken Marshall]
[Gillian Anderson]
I don't
Want to hear about the future

I want to see it

I want to feel it

I wanna taste it

[Ken Marshall]
There's a tendency to believe that the darkness automatically brings about fear in the mind; but, I've really found peace in the darkness. The trouble begins in the light when you come around mad
