about

i do not own any of the samples that i've used from:
t.s. eliot
i heart huckabees
six feet under
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
six degrees of separation

therefore the song is free of charge and i hope you enjoy it very much as i enjoy every one of those fantastic works of art <3

lyrics

oh, this is a kandinsky! a double -- one painted on either side. may i see?
yes, of course.

and how should i begin?
do not ask, what is it?
let us go and make our visit.

chaos, control, chaos, control --
you like, you like?

hahahahaha

do i dare disturb the universe?
i have seen the moment of my greatness flicker.

we flip it around for variety.

what am i doing? i don't know what i'm doing.
i'm do the best that i can and i know that's all i can ask of myself.

hahahahaha

can you hear me? i don't want this anymore! i wanna call it off!

you can't take a picture of this -- it's already gone.

and would it have been worth it after all?

chaos, control, chaos, control
you like, you like?

hahahahaha

human voices wake us, and we drown.

what happens in the meadow at dusk?
nothing! everything! nothing! everything!

it's beautiful --
it's beautiful.
