I tried to lose myself in the woods but always failed
The blaring traffic sound splitting apart my head
I thought if I were lost enough maybe I'd find you there
I thought maybe time would stop and all else would disappear
And at the edge of the atom
The whole world came to me
I tried to soak myself to the bones in the rain
I reached my hands up to God and called his name
I screamed his name
And at the edge of the atom the whole world came to me
And the sky collapsed in waves
And the earth burst into flames
The sounds of cars weren't sounds anymore
But something completely new
And the darkness split apart
Revealing nature's inner heart
Something inside me screamed
"We are one and we are all"
At the edge of the atom the whole world came to me
And the trees sheltered my lonely eyes
And the rain soothed me with its sting
And I was just happy to be alive
At the edge of the atom
The whole world stays with me
And I'll never let it go
