about

A.2 - PHILOSOPHY

lyrics

I WOKE WISTFUL
THINKING I HAD LAID TO REST
SUCCUMBING TO SLEEP - BLISSFUL
SUN TO USHER WEIGHT BENEATH THE WEST
YET THE MOON MADE ME DREAM OF DISTORTED DAYS
WITH FALSE CLARITY - AS THROUGH CRYSTAL
UNTIL, FROM UNDER THE EAST,
THE SUN RETURNED WOE BY THE FISTFUL

IF NO SHADOWS IN LIGHTNESS
NOTHING IS MISSED
THE MOON IS BRIGHT WITH NO ECLIPSE
BUT DENIES THAT I EXIST

SPEND DAYS MAKING LISTS OF LISTENINGS
AND CITINGS OF SIGHTINGS
GEARS SO SLOWLY TURNING
YEARS MARKING LEDGERS OF LEARNING
SLIGHTS OF STRAW - NOT METAL
STILL FEEL LIKE SCORES TO SETTLE
AS SURE AS WE FIND THEM TO ANOINT
HEROES LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO DISAPPOINT

IF NO SHADOWS IN LIGHTNESS
NOTHING IS MISSED
THE MOON IS BRIGHT WITH NO ECLIPSE
BUT DENIES THAT I EXIST

IF LIGHT IS THE LAW, AND THE SUN IS SETTING
THE LAST THING I SAW WAS WHERE I WAS HEADING
FEET STILL MAKE A MARK WHEN THEY WALK IN THE DARK
IT’S THE END, NOT THAT START, THAT I’M DREADING
