lyrics

Do you all see the same thing as me?
I'm not tripping on anything,
Just blinded by the steam.
An overdue reunion,
The meeting of souls
Kept for what felt like decades -
en masse, all on hold.
Gathered 'round the body,
Feet scuffing stone,
Through the holes in old shoes
All are soaked to the bone.
It's better than nothing
By a hair, maybe less.
But miracles can happen
I even got dressed

For the big damn occasion
The only event
Since nature, with fury,
Swung at our heads.
Out in the open,
The guilty remnant
Taking a beating
From the firmament.

Has it been,
That long since we were last here?
Content with all our split sides.
Stare at reflections of
Explosions, new colours coming to life.
Dipping in and out of spite.

Could it be that the spaces between
Have moulded themselves
Into our lives, unseen?
Adventures diminish
With each passing day.
Will we slip back to silence?
Hopelessly waiting for

Big damn occasions
And fancy events.
Stripped down to basics
Just chances to vent.
A rudderless boat
on some lousy sea.
Course set for Atlantis
Won't someone please tell me

How long it's been since we were here?
Set loose on the midnight tide.
Grateful to have felt like
Little more than ripples
Living on impossible bodies of light.

Left it alone and a stillness took hold.
It was bigger than me and comprised of crushed bone.
Left it alone and an stillness took hold.
And it holds! Holds! Holds! And it holds...
And then it folds.
