lyrics

A physicist told me I was a string
I told him he didn't know anything
Another explained to me why glass rings
And when it's broken, why it stings

I admit I wasn't listening
My heart was busy blistering
Of rings and glass I had little concern
Set fire to my soul and watch it burn

I used to think the world was flat
That the oceans poured into the abyss
We were together, you wore your felt hat
You told me I thought amiss

A once dormant mind began to inquire
That's when I learned that stars are fire
And gave up all the things that I feared
A cloudy world is becoming crystal clear

A once dormant mind began to inquire
That's when I learned that stars are fire
