lyrics

Are Thou Wanderer?
Where will you go?
Under starlight?
Under whispers?

Calloused hand in hand
Dirt under each eye
Travel through my darkest nights
I Dwell

Bury me under
warmest sands
The sea so still
The sky still so grey
What connects me here?
land or the sea?
The end still comes I’ll
Know what must be done

You’ll ask me how
Will I exist?
You’ll ask me how
But I won’t know

(I DON'T KNOW)

on ashen plains I crawl
in dusted dreams thrice worn
shapes I’ve seen and believed
to be spoken and not seen

in an ocean of my words
sleeping beneath the sleeves
the secrets I know to keep
and the secrets that I wish to leave

be banished from my home
in exile wander the stones
the endless dream I conjured
to the worlds I dwell alone

vanish before my eyes
the writing kept in mind
for the years and years to follow
through the endless forest I pined

I pined

Translucent wings unfurl their frame
Worlds yet unborn will fold over in refrain
Blackened worlds abandoned by time
Watched over by faces I no longer see as mine

Its eyes made of light,
A goddess of dawnless night
This unending dream
I need it to be seen

Beyond the precipice of fragile memories
In certain light I can still see the pale lines
Just like before, on some distant shore
A place where we'll be and both become

You held my hand as dreams faded like stars
The fox roamed the beach, as wills travelled deep
We tended your wounds and looked at it all
Awaiting the end, embracing the cold night’s calm

Our loam is lorn
You yearned for the end, I dreamt of the start

I’ll wait for the fall like nothing was true
The sorrow that I dream of nothing but you
