[Verse]
G               D    C     D
Open your eyes again for a moment
       Em     C       D
To the detail of this world
G          D C    D
Each tiny insect, breathing
     Em      C      D
Each limpid, leaf unfurled

[Verse]
                 Am
You see it for a second
     C            G
Then fall back to sleep
               Am
We see it for eternity
      C                D
The detail of this landscape

[Chorus]
G    D/F# Em    D    Em C D
Floating, screaming, awareness
C       D
All the time
G   D/F# Em D Em  C D
How we   envy you humans
C    D   C      D          G
When you gently close your minds

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
    G                D   C    D
You fly into a thing you call boredom
  Em      C      D
A talent, oh, so rare
G        D   C     D
Anything you don't want to see
    Em   C    D
You quietly ignore

[Verse]
                   Am
A trillion tons of flaming force
  C             G
A furnace, nuclear
                Am
You turn into a children's song
 C                       D
"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"

[Chorus]
G    D/F# Em    D    Em C D
Floating, screaming, awareness
C       D
All the time
G   D/F# Em D Em  C D
How we   envy you humans
C    D   C      D          G
When you gently close your minds

[Instrumental]

Am   Em   D   C

Em  C  D   G  C D   Em  C  D

[Verse]
G                     D  C  D
You build your little fairy stories
   Em      C          D
As shells around your mind
G              D C   D
To keep at bay infinity
    Em    C      D
And never ending time

[Verse]
              Am
You're almost deaf and blind
     C            G
Your lives are so short
                Am
Teach us how to end it
C                     D
Teach us how death is called

[Chorus]
G    D/F# Em    D    Em C D
Floating, screaming, awareness
   C    D      C       D
Of everything, all the time
G   D/F# Em D Em  C D
How we   envy you humans
C    D   C      D          G
When you gently close your minds
