HEKTOR
Hektor, falling to the moon
I don't I don't I don't...
It was h-h-h-hard...
For me tooooooooo grasp?
Which direction I sh-sh-sh-should go in.
To ... just ... journey ...
To ... just ... journey ...
To ... just ... journey ...

I heard the angel s-s-s-say,
"Go with the flow.
Don't try to figure it out.
Go with the flow."
So I went with the flow.

I went with the flow.
I went with the flow.
I went with the flow.

And, I don't know.
Maybe that was it?
I don't know what else to doooooooo.
So, I'll go with the flow...
