Lyrics
Indefinite and definitely dreamed about, there’s something in my closet, under my bed, but mostly outside my window. There’s something making noise. Some terrible kaleidoskull that ever so gently destroys the minds of those who believe it. And though I can’t quite perceive it, I can tell it’s there by the way it’s not quite there. Now there’s a lightbulb at the bottom of the sea that’s glowing. It’s like sunlight, the upside-downness of it… It’s saying something. There’s something making light. No sun, no moon, no weather balloon, but something purely of the night. Can’t say I know what is in it, or count the beats per minute. But I know there’s more washing up upon the shore. Indefinite and definitely dreamed about, there’s something. something glowing something glowing something glowing In my closet, under my bed, but mostly outside my window. something glowing something glowing something glowing There’s something making noise. Some terrible kaleidoskull that ever so gently destroys the minds of those who believe it. And though I can’t quite perceive it, I can tell it’s there by the way it’s not quite there.
