Lyrics:
This precise time and right here
Are not going anywhere
Ive had enough of new todays
For once Id like to go another way
I speak my last words and then remember it may never end
All that Ive won I have lost
Each passing moment cuts me off
Well, I dont like to waste a chance but theyre overflowing
What I dont do will get done by somebody
When I was five I saw some plants ungrowing
Whether seen forwards or back theyd keep going
Theyd keep going
If the seasons which change were all still
Its so easy to see life would fail
Whatever slips out of our hands
Will find its way back to us once again
If the seasons which change were all still
Its so easy to see life would fail
Whatever slips out of our hands
Will find its way back to us once again
Will find its way back to us once again
Will find its way back to us once again
Once again

The Empyrean is the tenth solo album by John Frusciante, scheduled to be released worldwide on January 20, 2009 through Record Collection. Frusciante does not plan on a following tour, as he instead wants to focus on writing and recording.
Frusciante asserts that the record "was recorded on and off between December 2006 and March 2008," and is a concept album that tells "a single story both musically and lyrically."[1] The Empyrean contains a version of Tim Buckley's, "Song To The Siren", from his 1970 album Starsailor. The record also features an array of collaborators and guest musicians including Frusciante's band mate Flea, and friends Josh Klinghoffer and Johnny Marr, among others. The album leaked onto the internet on January 13th, 2009.
