Lyrics
My Little Universe
My little universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day
Beautiful emptiness
Surrounds me
I take small steps
I'm making progress
In a non-specific way
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no one in
No one
No one
No one
Limited consciousness
Preserves me
It protects me
And just connects enough
To keep the wolves at bay
My little universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no one in
No one
No one
No one
