Lyrics Fragments - The Stupendium

Fragments

Oh my… Ratchet, the Dimensionator has sent us to a dimension where not
everybody is subscribed to The Stupendium!
Quickly, hit the red button to send
us back!
Hehehehe…
So things seem stable, it’s beginning to all make sense
But on the periodic table equilibrium ain’t that dense
So you’re top of every playbill?
You’ve been living as the main event?
Live a life on red carpet, you can’t be surprisd when you ask where th rug went
When it’s pulled out from under your feet
Fronting parades to confronting defeat
Dumped in the rain unfamiliar streets
But there’s nothing to gain by admitting you’re beat
Maybe it ain’t quite as grim as it seems
Don’t get to choose the loose screws you inherit
That’s more than a face in the mirror you’re seeing
Together you’ve got the tools to repair it
Might just be a Lombax with a wrench
I was sat on the bench, now I’m back with a vengeance
Smashed my dimension, so Ratchet’s suggestion?
Mechanical emperors should cash their pensions
Graduate from the school of harder knocks
Than the Grade-A plates of my Carbonox
When I take straight aim with my blaster shots
The reports say rain with some parts of bots
When realities collide, it’s appealing to think
There’s green on the other side, well you’re wielding the Sprinkler
The world’s what you make, it’s your fate’s not ingrained
Every crack in the paint’s still a piece of the picture
Every crack in the paint’s still a piece of the picture
Look past the pieces and you’ll see there’s more adventure to seize
Don’t believe it?
Then you’re thinking one-dimensionally
So this world is not the one that you intended to be?
Well a Rivet’s what you need when things might tear at the seams
It’s your turn to revolt in every turn of the bolt
Take the world on your shoulders, then turn it to gold
When you’ve crashed into fragments of all that you know
Well you’re far from alone, we’re just a rift apart
A rift apart
We’re just a rift apart
A rift apart
So it seems your outlook can be warped
Whole schemes cut off like some jean shorts
Keep tracking 'em down and the heat source
Leads you to keen sword swings at machine sorts
Keep breathing, it’s all gonna pass in a season
Believe it and call it a flash in the pan and release it
Let a thought stop with a dash
And you’ll leave it all looking real small in the past
A Shatterbomb to your artwork
Can make it feel like your heart burst
It’s hard to know what to start first
Each step becomes a departure
And you may feel like a drifter
Resist a place in the mixture
Is this a crack in the rift or
Another piece of the picture
Another piece of the picture
Look past the pieces and you’ll see there’s more adventure to seize
Don’t believe it?
Then you’re thinking one-dimensionally
So this world is not the one that you intended to be?
Well a Rivet’s what you need when things might tear at the seams
It’s your turn to revolt in every turn of the bolt
Take the world on your shoulders, then turn it to gold
When you’ve crashed into fragments of all that you know
Well you’re far from alone, we’re just a rift apart
A rift apart
We’re just a rift apart
A rift apart
There’s one thing rarer than Raritanium, that’s a fate that don’t seem alien
No matter how long you’ve been on that grind, life soon find ways of derailing
Any Infobot will say the same again if a legacy’s planting seeds
You’d better believe I’m leaving these enemies in leaves and geraniums
Though chance may choose our canvas, only we can paint the hues
But your flaws don’t mean you’re broken, they’re just deeper shades of you
Combination of Sagan and
Bob Ross
, no mistakes when repainting the cosmos
If things seem grey, it’s the start of a gradient, can’t make hay without
raking the compost
Where dimensions fragment and the shards reconnect
You’ll find you’re not defined, by the past they reflect
Leaving one world behind, can be hard to expect
But you’ll work out in time a new path in the next
When your reality cracks, it can feel like forever
Trapped in the gaps as the pieces are severed
If you feel you could lapse all you need is a tether
To that team at your back you can keep it together
Look past the pieces and you’ll see there’s more adventure to seize
Don’t believe it?
Then you’re thinking one-dimensionally
So your world is on the brink of some Nefarious scheme?
Well a Rivet’s what you need when things might tear at the seams
It’s your turn to revolt in every turn of the bolt
Take the world on your shoulders, then turn it to gold
When you’ve crashed into fragments of all that you know
Well you’re far from alone, we’re just a rift apart
A rift apart
We’re just a rift apart
A rift apart
And with every new world that unfurls you will find
There is more to your life than the one you designed
There is far more to fight for
Than what you are leaving behind
