Listen! This sentence's period - that's me.
I'll just move one inch to my right, you see. ------>.
Now, I trace a one-inch segment of a line.
It's my one-dimensional redesign.
Watch me trace my line segment down from there,
producing what some folks might call a square.
I execute this little trick for you
in a special dimension known as two.
Look! I rise off the page, one inch -
mutually perpendicular, a sinch!
Orthogonal to left/right and up/down,
I'm a cube, a 3D shape of renown.
A fourth perpendicular direction,
and my shape should warrant your attention;
and the name they call me, to be exact,
is Mister Hypercube or Tesseract.

they're so focused on the shapes and lines
they're so engaged in the moving times
faster and faster and smaller and bigger
and more and more and more and more
you're not so big and powerful
when you're in physical form
but you're so big and powerful
in the other form
in the other form
be it
don't let it be you

i am in the fourth dimension
there is no way out
i can hear darkness
and i can taste my past
it tastes like... cereal
on a morning with four feet of snow
a mourning
yes, and lace curtains
laced
in my living room
in my nice, cozy living room
i am in the fourth dimension
the one-eyed capricorns can see through cameras
into my bedroom
i better be careful with what i say to myself
i am in the fourth dimension
i have seven voices
but no one can hear the second
or the third, or the fourth, or the fifth, or the
i am in the fourth dimension
this is nothing like hell
this is nothing like heaven
i am in the fourth dimension
i've experienced experiences i've never experienced
and they were all very nice, except i've never experienced them
so they weren't that great
i am in the fourth dimension
i have repeated the same ten seconds three hundred and sixty-five times
and i've taken showers with machines
the machines zapped me, but that's okay
i still have eyes
i am in the fourth dimension
the tesseract ate me
it felt good
but now i desperately need to die
i am in the fourth dimension
where you live forever
and where
you
never
die
