The original idea was to make a TV-length opening theme for a magical girl show. Then things got out of hand.

I wrote some lyrics for this, though they're just a curiosity since I'm sure not going to be singing them. They're also... uh, not very magical girl-like. I'm pretty sure you can't say "fuck" on a magical girl show.

lyrics (m### = measure number in the LMMS project file)

[intro - m2]

breathing
feeling
moving through forever

[verse 1 - m21]

another day i'll never remember
another night in a halogen-lit mind
watching the world go by
outside

falling away into another blacklight daydream
a fluorescing hue in the moon's new gloom
pale blue

[bridge 1 - m37]

heart racing
time wasting
mind changing
still waiting

light passing
rays casting
all alone
in a glow
and feeding my lingering memories of home

[chorus 1 - m57]

unwind my mind and find me
interpolate my missing dreams
and tell me why they're empty

if i believe
will you answer me
as i make
one more
heartworn
silent plea

so if you're somewhere
out there
tell me why i'm breathing
feeling
moving through forever

[verse 2 - m95]

another night under fractal skies
another dot in my liquid crystal lie
my mandelbrot bands
zooming extruding
to right back where i began

falling away into another backlight night dream
the colors violet blue
vibrant untrue

[bridge 2 - m113]

heart racing
time wasting
mind changing
still waiting

light passing
rays casting
shining the light of the sunrise over me
pulling me out of my reverie
i can almost feel a memory
til the lights go down and i'm back out again

[chorus 2 - m133]

unwind my mind and find me
interpolate my missing dreams
and tell me why they're empty

if i believe
will you answer me
as i make
one more
ignored
desperate plea

so if you're somewhere
out there
tell me why i'm breathing
feeling
moving through forever

[solo - m155]

[post-solo bridge - m259]

out of the dawn comes the wind of the morning sun
calling me back when i think of leaving
bringing me out of a dream without a meaning

into the rhythm
the monochrome
dissonant tone

is just a rhyme
against the time
to pry open
my bloodshot eyes

i don't know why
i can't decide
if i believe
my fucking lies

i don't know why
i don't know why
i don't know why
i'm still afraid of "goodbye"

[chorus 3 - m280]

unwind my mind and find me
interpolate my missing dreams
and tell me why they're empty

the summer breeze
doesn't answer me
as i go

forward
on toward
the door
not like
before
i am
something
more

and now i'm somewhere
out here
with my heart still beating
feeling
so i guess it's now or
never
in a world that's dreaming
fleeting
moving through forever
