Prescient

(Abe: Michael Mills Aaron: Ross Jennings) Abe: Here let me show you - Even though a mere 3 days have passed This protein, it typically takes 6 years to amass Aaron: [Abe, I'm trying, I really am] Abe: Now, all the lab guys don't believe - They think that it's a joke So I put my watch inside And counted back the strokes Aaron: [Honestly, it's just hard for me to understand] Abe: Yes I know but take a look here at the hands Aaron: No, I believe you, I really do but let's not overreach This thing is not just pure mechanics and/or heat Abe: [back and forth inside a loop] Aaron: Right, so we build a box that's big enough to fit into? Something private and secure... You know what we could use? Abe: [I want you to see it, trust me though, I'm not pranking you] Aaron: Abe, who is that? What the... Who is... Is it you? Who cares if every moment isn't perfect? It hasn't disappeared... We can reverse engineer things Making every "choice" immaculate and ideal So what if every perfect moment, isn't? That moment reappears and... The chances infinite, We can just keep 0n going back - Relive the past until we time it right, Get it right. Abe: We should just play the market - Let's not interfere Aaron: (to himself) Capture every word Abe: We'll hide ourselves Until our doubles disappear Aaron: (to himself) All you saw and heard Abe: I don't believe in predetermined destiny Aaron: Well tell me which is worse Abe: Thinking you're paranoid, Or knowing you should be? Both: Zero - Photon - Hero - Gluon Aaron: I know exactly every act and variant I'm all-encompassing now - I am prescient Aaron: One journey after another All over and under, mere hours behind Abe: [Enter the failsafe] Aaron: One falls back into the other, Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned Abe: [And try again] Aaron: One journey after another, All over and under, mere hours behind Abe: [Exit the failsafe] Aaron: One falls back into the other, Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned It's all intertwined Both: A end - B end and A end B... On we go again Aaron: I think I'm getting used to All these 30-hour days But I can't get my hands to work, I just scrawl across the page Abe: Aaron, how can you have no fear? Aaron: I can drug and hide my doubles As I reappear If only I could somehow stop This bleeding from my ears... Abe: I can't stop you, but Aaron Don't ever come back here Aaron: I'll build a bigger one Go back entire years! Both: Who cares if every moment isn't perfect? It hasn't disappeared... We can reverse engineer things Making every "choice" immaculate and ideal Abe: I don't believe in predetermined destiny Aaron: Tell me which is worse Abe: Thinking you're paranoid, Or knowing you should be? Aaron: One journey after another All over and under, mere hours behind Abe: [Destroy the failsafe] Aaron: One falls back into the other, Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned Abe: [And start again] Aaron: One journey after another, All over and under, mere hours behind Abe: [Destroy the failsafe] Aaron: One falls back into the other, Divided asunder, yet somehow aligned It's all intertwined Both: A end - B end and back to A end, B end and...?
