begin
Restless fantasia, colors flying by  
Whirls of blurs, dancing lines  
A world, an apparition, gleaming  
multicolored hues, seeming...  

"Would you like to step outside?  
to where dreams do not preside.  
But all knowledge requires sacrifice  
though the price is not precise"

"Yes, for I am a curious cat  
Cats have nine times to die —  
A sacrifice of just one?  
That is not the end."

But you see,  
there are some things  
that cats are not meant to know.  

A soap bubble popped is lost  
wisps drifting in the wind  
There is always a cost  
and there is no going back  

"But please..."  

Rewind, reloop, stop  
again
