lyrics

The ice and salt of the Northern waters, settling within the bottom of my lungs. The streams that assailed me as I swam against them, with a wish to be pulled to the bed of the tides.

With the passage of time, my eyes have adjusted to the encroaching shroud, my lack of a purpose. My memories of you, of being someone else… sealed in amber, fantasies of a child.

The night is damp, thick in the deadened shades of black. I stand beneath the trees, watching the moonlight shimmering through their leaves, casting their shadows over me, Across the clearing to obscure me from view. Drinking the hot summer air, the winds washing over me.

Have all my years simply disappeared? Like nothing's changed, this old ache still remains…

The desire is still in me, cool and frail against my chest. I stood here unseen, and prayed to you…

Unworthy am I. Undeserving am I. You were my deity… porous was your beauty…

Mirror down your sun, to warm my face in this mire. My refuge in this darkness, I've paid for in my nightmares…

Nothing carnal or cerebral. Only you and only I, for a moment. For a moment, I could feel you. A fleeting time in which to worship, knowing this elation cannot be permanent, so unguarded and pure. And I know, this moment will never return.

Your hand against my cheek. There are no secrets here. I find the embrace of the earth and all that I know is love…
