Thesis
And antithesis
Dark
And light

Raise a hand
She cowers
Left brain
And right

Man and woman
Sunlight erases night
Sleep
Erases fears

Cool water
Splash on your throat
Feels alright
Hemispheres

Stare into a glass
See through the bottom of it
Prism out
Diffuse your sight

Otherworldly
Strange unseen
His desires
An unknown
She goes into a dream
That feels alright

Shadows solidify
Become what is not
What she fears
And take the space
The place the power

Erase
The ache
The day
The hour
Between
The hemispheres

You are
But there it is
You are
Transparent yet black as night

You are
And there he is
Split into a spark a shower
Now that's alright
That's alright now


(Instrumental)


Later
On the porch
Bent over
Holding
Your core tight

Panic
Is
just energy
Spilling out like signals
Into the night

Man and woman
Energy is just mass times
The speed of light
Stay or go
She clears

Her mind of choice
Which is her choice
Thesis
Hemispheres
Antithesis
Hemispheres

Man and woman
Hemispheres
