Illuminated

I'm a student of just one master I'm only afraid of one monster I stand illuminated All my visions crowd down to one bead of sweat My whole life bears down on one hour I stand illuminated I know world holds many words Pearls hang down in necklaces Islands come around in archipelagoes I get all my light from one light bulb I stand illuminated I'm devoted to a telling a detail I'm awash in overall impressions I stand illuminated I only roll down the one staircase I only have foresight the first time I stand illuminated I know the world holds many words Pearls hang down in necklaces Islands come round in archipelagoes I get all my light from one light bulb I stand illuminated
