Sequence I: The Weight

The view from here
It is so frightening
A world of tidepools
Incompleteness all around.

A god beat lightnails
Deep into the flesh of a summer night
Words fell from a paper moon
To come alive in a lonely room
Time was standing still
As giants broke the cardboard sword
The old bridge sank into the river
All certainties disappeared.

Roads and rivers are winding in a circle
Around the curled up monumental me
Outside looking in time and again
Feeling the weight of a jaded dream.

And the view from here is frightening
The view from here is frightening.

Far away between Sirius and Vega
All along the Road of ancient Gods
In the black heart of Orion
Beneath the surface of a soul
The momentum.

Everything is so different now
The moon looks down with orphaned eyes
And a lighthouse sends out fragile signals
To a distant desert sea.

Roads and rivers are winding in a circle
Around the curled up monumental dream
Outside looking in time and again
Feeling the weight of the jaded me.

It's frightening (frightening)
It's so frightening, it's so frightening.
