Sir Real

Lyrics by Wilton. Music by Powell, Wilton, and Dittrich. Arranged by Dwarf Nebula.

Brave Catalyst, I raise you a tall one
For Pole-vaulting us into our dreams
Your sparks’ explosions, appearing at random
Many things are not as they should seem

You were there to bounce off the vision
Bass of the pillar, keystone of the arch
When you wound up, you let go of the bottom
You became Sir Real when you’d shed the starch

Driving this bus, you were oft’ overdriven
Launched us so surely from shore on this ride
Structures so sound they support fluid visions
Though she cannot be steered, flotsam is poled aside
So fade away. Answer the call of science

But take this bit back with you through the vial
I’d danced ‘round this thing formed together forever
Only you had the strength to help make it real.

Chorus:

Contradiction, friction; you better believe
You wore your coat of arms out on your sleeve
Never afraid to make life your school
Now go and build us a whole new molecule
