lyrics

a constellation of freckles blinkin in the aether, reflected neath the oceans surface flickering as the waves roll across the projections in steady meter, as each old word rolls out of bed into a predictable grave,

you and i, we stretch our limbs into horizons, the edge of seas, and know we're not ends or beginnings. still the fear returns that with you so distant and happily free, what is there still to talk about? what is there still to burn? we linger on for the view because it is beautiful to see, the forest still ablaze on distant cays, unable to break its gaze, it gazes into me
-----
you told me to wait outside, so i waited for you, quickly the hours passed by and i knew i was fooled. somehow the dark clouds communicated, through yawning or whispering, maybe morse code with the light, somehow they knew how patiently i'd waited, cause it didnt rain til i got inside

oh what a lucky break cause the house was on fire, i headed straight to my room, somehow i knew what i would find, i didn't even look for you.
deep in the belly of a star, or so it would seem, like the snake that ate its tail the blaze fed on the fire as i watched myself asleep
