lyrics

Incandescent shining through the window
A cicada carried in a note
This reminder of every year that passes
In the corner staring like a ghost
Every word written with a motive
And every scar was singing
Faded outline, my shadow sits within it
Unafraid and just beginning

The years keep passing by unspooling on a further line
Every scar and fold erasing
No broken bones, no inner panic, so who am I?
A patina on the casing

Oh, Javelin! Give me faith and carry me on your way
Oh, minaret, you remain with your psalm calling out to me

It comes in waves of blue and white
So last one here, turn out the light

Are we so temporary just taking what we carry
With every thread a different hue
But stitched together, they disappear
Fading in and out of view
Wake up! Wake up!
I can't recall the sun as every day continues dimming
The years keep passing by unspooling on a further line
Unafraid and just beginning

Do you hear it too on a distant line?
A tether of some kind pulled so taut
We cannot untie
Is this your knot or is it mine?
