Embracer

(album: ATUM: A Rock Opera In Three Acts - 2023)

As stilled as a flower
As ruined as a saint where true met true
Let's feast on his rage
Unleash what allays our muse

I realize
Realize, I realize
I'd believed what was lonely in you
"I realize", said the knife to the spoon
I believed what was lonely in you

Shake hard this summons
With bottles tossed
Down said seas of noise
In notes and sighs to the void

I'd love you to follow
A star on the rise, entombed by blue
In heed of the sage
I've sent out a faith once removed

I realize
Realize, I realize
It's only the lonely who should lose
I realize said the knife to the spoon
It's only the lonely who lose

As fools 'cross a cosmos
As a soot on your age
Where true cuts true
I've had you beside
To show me what always might do

I'd love you to follow
A star on the rise, entombed by blue
In heed of the sage
I've sent out a faith once removed

I realize
Realize, I realize
It's only the lonely who should lose
I realize said the knife to the spoon
It's only the lonely who lose

I realize
Realize, I realize
It's only the lonely
