Lyrics
The sun… is not a disc.
It is a hole.
A hole burned in a sheet of tin by a steady hand.
And through it… pours the everything.
The white.
The dust remembers the sea.
Holds the shape of waves in its ribs.
A fossil thirst.
My boots… are full of yesterday.
[Verse 1]
I walked towards a pool of silver…
That was just a trick of the light on salt.
The horizon… a blunt knife.
Cut nothing. Promised everything.
I traded my shadow to a scarab…
For a mouthful of cool stone.
It’s still on my tongue.
[Verse 2 - Over the building jam]
Saw a city in the shimmy…
Spires of refraction, gates of bent air!
A cathedral of *want*…
Its bells were made of my own pulse!
…the bass is a black line I follow
Through the canyon of my own skull!
It leads to an oasis of *feedback*…
Where the water… sings… with *voltage!*
[Outro - Spoken Baritone returns, more weathered, more intimate than ever, almost a thought]
The heat…
Off the rocks…
Is the land… breathing back.
In.
Out.
The mirage wasn’t a lie.
It was a… suggestion.
My shadow…
I think I see it…
Over there.
By that rock that looks like…
…wait.
