Mental maelstrom beckons me,
to fall into the core.
the centre of the universe,
mocks me forevermore.
Who awoke the engine when i could not its key?
who landed me upon this place,
this island in the sea?
(there's) four or five thousand clouds,
all inside my head.
i'm looking for the mind i had,
how long has it been dead?
Eighteen thousand million years,
with aeons in between.
cannot save me from my fears,
of things i might have seen.
What did you see?
who did you see?
Don't want to go back to that place.
don't want to go back to my soul.
my spirit in a vacuum. spirit in a vacuum.
my spirit in a vacuum.
Mental maelstrom, that is you.
you've killed my inner sun.
the sacrifices that i made,
i want them all undone.
You put the engine back to sleep,
when i thougth i'd found the key.
now that i am stranded here,
you return to misery.
How can i kill the alien mind,
that tries to be me'
i've seen the vacuums eye,
and now i see the thing that i be.
Don't want to go back to that place.
don't want to go back to my soul.
Spirit in a vacuum.
my spirit in a vacuum.
