Motionless In Sky

(album: Crux - 2019)

First sworn miles
Met with oaths to more yet
Forever named, each step
Introduces the next
And how nothing is
That is not both
Kiss and maim
Reap and sow
This began long before I'd known

I killed what I called home
To make damn clear
That I was worth my words
And that they are something living
Not just scratches on page
Not just promises made
They are the beast that I ride

Number of times
I tried to tell them
Number of times
I saw the fear in their eyes
Number of times
I swore before great sights
The heights I'd climb, climb
Number of times I washed my hands
Of that evil, evil, evil
Number of times
I've said this all before

I killed what I called home
To make damn clear
That I was worth my words
And that they are something living
Not just scratches on page
Not just promises made
They are the beast that I ride

Old blood in new veins
Ooh, it's sick if it stays
Where it no longer lives
Oh, how it fights to not die
But it did and so it needs to
Motionless in sky
Emotionless, it hides
And I ain't gonna die like that
