Uncertainty holds us, our molecules fly
Beacons of light shoot from my eyes
Feet leave the ground, gravity dies
Frozen in time, atmosphere cries
Atoms are split inside my spine
Flesh melts away, only our souls
Body electric, finally whole
Lungs don’t need breath, eyes don’t need sight
Body electric, at the speed of light
