[00:13.140]Have you ever wondered,
[00:14.510]well I have about how when I say, say red,
[00:17.140]for example.There's no way of knowing if red
[00:20.120]Means the same thing in your head
[00:21.880]As red means in my head,
[00:23.670]when someone says red!
[00:24.910]And how if we are travelling
[00:26.390]at almost the speed of light
[00:28.260]And we're holding a light
[00:29.950]That light will still travel away from us
[00:32.510]At the full speed of light, which seems right in a way
[00:35.250]But I'm trying to say, I'm not sure
[00:38.050]But I wonder if inside my head
[00:40.210]I'm not just a bit different to some of my friends
[00:43.190]These answers that come into my mind unbidden
[00:46.270]These stories delivered to me fully written!
[00:49.270]And when everyone shouts like they seem to like shouting
[00:52.420]The noise in my head is incredibly loud!
[00:55.210]And I just wish they'd stop, my Dad and my Mom.
[00:58.230]And the telly and stories would stop just for once!
[01:01.160]I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it right.
[01:04.160]the noise becomes anger and the anger is light
[01:07.090]And its burning inside me would usually fade.
[01:10.140]But it isn't today!
[01:11.850]And the heat and the shouting.
[01:13.890]My heart is pounding.
[01:15.390]My eyes are burning
[01:17.500]And suddenly everything, everything is...
[01:21.890]
[01:26.660]Quiet
[01:29.430]
[01:34.690]Like silence, but not really silent.
[01:46.050]Just that still sort of quiet.
[01:51.530]Like the sound of a page being turned in a book.
[01:57.180]Or a pause in a walk in the woods.
[02:01.350]
[02:04.880]Quiet
[02:11.600]Like silence, but not really silent.
[02:21.570]Just that nice kind of quiet.
[02:26.740]Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed.
[02:32.370]Just the sound of your heart in your head.
[02:36.040]
[02:39.770]And though the people around me.
[02:43.610]Their mouths are still moving.
[02:47.330]The words they are forming.
[02:51.130]Cannot reach me anymore!
[02:56.960]
[03:00.470]And it is quiet.
[03:05.340]And I am warm.
[03:11.000]Like I've sailed.
[03:20.810]Into the eye of the storm.
