Identity

Nautilus star, sunshine glow

brave, amidst a pale sea of suns

nebulas have wronged me

constellations have deceived

I am alone within my sea of dreams

no molecule can touch me

without burning to oblivion

I am hot glow

I am quicksilver sun

my ancestors rest on different planes of the ONE

don't stare at me too long

I'll burn your eyes right through

don't think of me too much

I'm nothing like you

don't try to find your place here

don't ever seek the truth

I am sun, light, shadow, darkness, 

me and you

Ride the orbit around my soul

I can touch you with my burning rays

don't look at me too long

or you might lose sight.

Perhaps you're on a distant planet

studying me with your telescopes

you know my chemistry

you know my physics

but you don't know me

Blister sunshine, inward glow

I am starlight

I am moonshine

I am hot, sweaty suntan sister sun

heat radiates until all is ONE

don't stare at me too long

I'll burn your eyes right through

don't think of me too much

I'm nothing like you

don't try to find your place, here

don't ever seek the truth

I am sun, light, shadow, darkness

me and you

Don't look at me too long

or you might lose sight.
