lyrics

Hold up in space. There’s a light we can’t reach. Disjointed it clears the need. They rise just as spectral dreams. It held everything in your arms that can be. Fracturing hue display. A loss within gusting steam.
In thought I was blind. Won’t sleep through the night. Inside of this violent mind. Soul terrified. Curled up in our chair. My heart is on fire. Ensanguine light.
Unraveling life is a drawn suffering heat. Halls in past ghostly beams crawled out thawed frost and tree. Hands, body, they fade, drum blank colder paint. We’re all gathered sullen ground in vacuums blink eye remains.
Searching for a melody. Clay of bees that stir mourning. Burning as a flame of trees. Sways in heat that curl the leaves.
We are the rhythms in a carriage. Beyond the bridge we re-create. Are you lonely? Is the ocean calling? Antique paper pray we’re longing. Cursed algorithms joined in marriage. Tears, mud, the sticks, pulse, hesitate. Are the souls lost mead? In our drowning, soft bay strand stillbirth of mourning.
