When cracks appear in reality
Admitting slivers of another locality
Injecting us with dark unfamiliarity
And reaching for another drink
Or changing how we think
Doesn’t help get us back
We’ve a chance to ride a truer track
If we don’t get so stuck
Behind the wheel of our ambition
That we run over what’s always already here
Already more electrifying than fear

So let the cracks widen, let them spread
Let curiosity get the better of dread
Let the unknown dissolve in a deeper unknown
Let’s see more than what is shown
The undoing that we fear is already here
The mystery of mysteries closer than near
Beyond all familiarity we eventually must go
This we fight, and this we know

When cracks appear in reality
Admitting slivers of another locality
We may seem to be near insanity
But the light that streams through
The light that holds every view
Is none other than you
