The Scientists

Electrified and lit up by an outline of herself, and smiling now as only she can be

She said I made some new connections to astound them all in ways we've never dreamed about

Her lovely hand is glowing from a light inside itself, from soaking in the esters stacked for miles on a single shelf

Holding my eyes still so she can see all the super-undercover custom hybrids got to me

It's too much, here too late

I want to see it all again

She says keep this benzene ring around your finger, and think of me when everything you wanted starts to end

And I saw living lusters form in pools beneath her feet, invertebrates that only she can see

And I said what on Earth are all these ampoules for, she says exactly, we're not gonna wait around here anymore

Systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud rescind

And I will keep you, I will keep you to the end

Set your head back low, watch my ears ring

I will take care of you, I will take care of everything

Systems back down slow, watch the dust cloud rescind

And I will keep you, I will keep you to the end

Set your head back low, watch my ears ring

I will take care of you, I will take care of everything

It's too much here, too late, too much here, too late
