6. The Merge (15:19)
I love you mommy

Erste, zwei, drei, vier, eight, sechs, sieben, ocht, neun
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two
Erste, zwei, drei, vier, eight, sechs, sieben, ocht, neun, zehn!

Now, a light grows inside
Painting shadows, under skin
Spreading slowly in a tide
Flooding fingers, limbs, sealing eyes

(Ah, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na...)

And here, is a forest
And here, is a stone
Right here, are the marks they made
I still hear them, they still call
They sing through me, they still sing

(Ah, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na...)

And I, I will wander, in a lake, under water
Where the jewels drift by me forever
Where their minds combine and silence is laughter
Where waking is dreaming, where motion is stillness
While I, I drift in the tides, in wonder, going under

Pom pom pom, pom, pom
Pom pom pom, pom, pom
Pom pom pom, pom, pom
Pom pom pom, pom, pom
