lyrics

Come and play
The quartz says to me as I cross my legs
next to the tv screen, so excited
Grainy cathode rays.
My eyes are gleaming
with the starlight
pixels of a video, dream

But who is this I'm remembering?
In those different skins,
I find it sometimes in that twinning thing
always unbidden
Still find it in the cracks of

The Crystal Pixel

The light is getting late,
The game becomes his life
becomes the boy
becomes the one being,
Played. forced sousveillance.
Who's to ever say?
That our ties to conscious life
aren't really lies to keep us
finding out that
we're sitting there in that predawn lair.

But who is this I'm remembering?
In those different skins,
I find it somehow in that twinning thing
always unbidden
Still find it in the cracks of

The Crystal Pixel

"In the waking world someday thou may recall
this island that memory must be the real dream world
Come on let us awaken together”
