I Contain Multitudes 歌詞

We are the body cosmic The interconnected flesh Transfigured and forged In sidereal flame Dark matter genetics Pulse through our veins But life begins shattered Our first breaths are scattered And we are born broken Whatever I am is the creation of others Coalescence Nurture molds what nature has made I contain multitudes Shield the eyes maternal fire Fragments of self in the distance Cosmic background kin Ego dies in the frigid expanse Identity killed by the knowledge of station Unwhole apart everything together The untethered celestial Children of cosmic debris Whatever I am is the creation of others Coalescence Nurture molds what nature has made I contain multitudes Lungs heavy with stellar dust Beating blood-red star hearts Eternal matter incarnate Is this the grand design? Where does the weight of the universe lie? With the stars up high Or with the space between them? With the planets above Or with the suns that feed them? Where does the weight of the universe lie? With the brain that breeds thoughts Or with the mouth that speaks them? Where does the weight of the universe lie? With the limbs of a body Or with the muscles that move them? Here, from the vantage of stars A revelation No whole exceeds its parts Every cell A monument to insignificance Every mind An ode to circumstance The truth that each of us must seek Where does the weight of the universe lie If not with me?
