lyrics

I will look down and see my bones upon the murmuring water
A vision of life, a trespass of intellect, flatirons on the river
The glory of it, becoming and then became, a sudden burst of reason
When death catches wind and lungs become reservoirs for a silence monolithic

Black eyes, black eyes will not open for you and I tonight
False light, fault lines will not open for me as I resign

I will take shape of boarders and boundaries, of continents and nations
Rising at once to cover the whole of it, the hum and static of stations
The glory of all, the horrible moment when my hands cannot hold the river
And my body slips in, a vessel of oxygen for the sharks to bloody the water

Black eyes, black eyes will not open for you and I tonight
False light, fault lines will not open for me as I resign
