[Part 2: A Beautiful Infinity I]
[Verse]
Snow is falling but it can't be seen from here
And back on Earth, my loving wife's been dead for years
I see myself in relation to it all
What seemed important now like dust inside the squall
Each moment for me is a lifetime for you
[Part 3: Borrowed Atoms]
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
The clouds have no history
And the sea feels no sorrow
The oxygen recycled
And the atoms are just borrowed
The paleness and fragility
Of this I call a home
[Chorus]
I'm already gone
Is there self?
Is this real? Is this a dream?
[Part 4: A Beautiful Infinity II]
[Chorus]
There's no reason for any of this
Just a beautiful infinity (Ooh)
No design and no one at the wheel
Just an existential mystery
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
[Outro]
The light that radiates from here can shame the sun
But in a billion years, its journey's just begun
(Begun, do-do-do-do)

[Chorus: Steven Wilson]
From the air, from the dust
From the sea, and from the blood
In a capsule for the billions of years
Preserved
All we were, all destroyed
Drifting on through the void
As all permanence of matter disappears
Taken
From the air, from the dust
From the sea, and from the blood
In a capsule for the billions of years
Preserved
All we were, all destroyed
Drifting on through the void
As all permanence of matter disappears
