lyrics

COVALENCE
(N. Parent)

When time began so long ago, within the span of those
Short, elemental ruptures, you discovered quantum punctures.
Then, as you flow you'll find that, slowly, everything is bonded to one another.
Countering charges become lovers.

But, when you look inside, you'll find a sonic ballad;
Between microscopic mass and a volatile past.
You might change your mind, or realign, to stabilize your feelings
On the subject. One that I often find so complex.

I saw your bond, it struck my side. It stuck my side.
Combine, react; our forms attract. Our forms attract.

Imaginary thoughts have forced their way upon my conscious,
As if questioning our place amongst a vibrant, fertile trace.
Of matter formed when particles were destined into masses;
Large enough to take up space. Are we living in that space?

I guess I've let her down, by seeming out of touch.
When our hopes have all but passed, will my carbon trace still last?
So you might find that there was someone in this world, still waiting to be discovered.
While I was searching for my lover.

We formed a bond, you took my side. I'm still behind.
Perform, impact; you're far off track. Am I on track?

I saw your bond, it struck my side. It stuck my side.
Combine, react; our forms attract. Our forms attract.

Our forms attract, our forms attract, our forms attract.
