The bassline is the main melody of this song; it gets shortened for the bridge at 1:32, rhythmically shortened with many shorter notes at 2:20, and gets up progressively shortened starting at 3:00.

Pyramids

I really did it now
I can't get out
The door won't move
All that's left is this groove

I built a time machine
It might be a mistake
I built a time machine
but it it only goes one way
I built a time machine
It's spinnin' really fast
I built a time machine
I'm falling through the past

Today if you could call it that I saw the pyramids unbuilt
Humanity's seed unspilt

Like watching a quilt come undone then respun
Pangea's woven miles of textiles
And I'd be all smiles if this wasn't the last I'd see

Meteors fly up to space
Dinosaurs roars fall down their throats
Lava flows uphill
Islands sucked down till all is still,

And in the greatest ocean
The creatures getting smaller
Then I'm the only thing that's left
Floating in the water

I built a time machine
It might be a mistake
I built a time machine
but it it only goes one way
I built a time machine
It's spinnin' really fast
I built a time machine
I'm falling through the past

I'm Major Tom in reverse
Earhardt in reverse
I'm Benjamin Button in... well I guess I'd be him in forward
but Brad Pitt, in reverse

I'm not lost, but I'm cursed like them
Reversed temporally but not in the arc of their story
the gory history or herstory of me falling in reverstory a cursory reflection on what I should have changed

The plot points ring the same, lost in the sea of the past with no one to blame except perhaps myself and my ego and hubris and the cat that peed on the console okay maybe there's plenty of blame but let's not dwell on the shame cuz the name of the game is

I built a time machine
It might be a mistake
I built a time machine
but it only goes one way
I built a time machine
It's spinnin' really fast
I built a time machine
I'm falling through the past

I'm recording this in the dim hope that someone outside of time finds and rescues me, or at least remembers my story.

That's all from me.

See you at the beginning.
