First Father
(专辑: Everything Was Sound - 2016)
Do you remember when I
said you'd never feel the
sting of death? But now I'm waiting where you left, beside that snow-kissed clearing. I
pressed a
seed through that frozen fleece, the
earth embraced you in the
ground. No invention of my mind will ever compose a
melody so profound. I'm a
priest afraid to pray, terrified at what the
silence couldn't say tongue tethered to the
skeptic beating in my chest We're no longer quite ourselves nor reflections of someone else. Lover, do you feel that tension as we drift between silence and eternity? Death is the
road…road to awe. I
stood atop the
world, it's asymmetry laid bare in front of me: Thanatophobic societies taking life to mourn their tragedies I
feared this world would never change, but you steady your resolve anyway. Let's set the
pen against the
sword. How orphans long for peace before they learn to love the
war! Perhaps it's our language, perhaps we are incomplete. Words like shadows to what we see: Faint flickerings across the
cavern in our minds. Candles in the
dark, defiant to the
night “You pulled me through time”, through the
edgeless night. I
learned to love as you learned to die. I'll begin to feel again and finish the
chapter you couldn't write Candles in the
dark, defiant to the
night defiant to the
shadow. You pull me through time, through the
edgeless night. I
learned to love as you learned to die.
