FAR LIGHT

(albüm: exuvium [OBLIVIØN Pt. II] - 2023)

Pass overhead
I've forgotten what's it like
To feel weightlessness, my strings untied
My arms are long
Strong enough for flight
But can they push away this heavy silence?

But maybe if you're tongue-tied
I could walk you through it all
Find you in the lowlight
Fight your battles through this war
Broken on my doorstep
You were falling through the seams
Breaking every finger
Thinking it would make you clean

And I know
In the far light
In the lightning
There are pieces of myself
You're setting off
You're setting off
And I'm frail
And I'm poured out
But I told you
There are parts you'll never see
And they're aligning in the stars
(The stars, the stars, the stars, the stars...)

Pass over my head
With your wings extended wide
I can taste the way you terrify me
Grow towards the sun
Leave me far behind
Till you extend into this pale horizon

But maybe if I'm tongue tied
You could walk me through it all
Find me in the low light
Let your body break my walls
I'll be on your doorstep
Sorting through my empty dreams
Breaking every finger
Praying that it makes me clean

And I know
In the far light
In the lightning
There are pieces of myself
You're setting off
You're setting off
And I'm frail
And I'm poured out
But I told you
There are parts you'll never see
And they're aligning in the stars

Maybe if you take time
We could still escape this place
Our pearly gates are burning
And yet somehow fire feels so safe
If I told you, "jump now"
Would you let it all erase?
Join me in the far light
Blooming in a fiery blaze
