Stellar Tombs

A place where daylight aches
It's all unreal to you
A sunset calls me here
I swear to love it's true.

So alien this vaulted screen
And patterns form into contours
The dark around me as dense as matter...
A stellar quake fills the astral space.

How dare you not to see?
My tears are gifts to you
A heart you must set free
How dare you not believe?

(Because I freeze in the warmth, in the glow of Helios
sweat in the heart of summer drained
and radiant life to falter and beautiful tears to dry
I'm gracefully bowing... in horror)

Waterless like the ocean
Drizzling like the deserts
Come emerge and wallow!
Pretend like nothing at all
Along the whirlwinds in your head.

A place where daylight aches
It's all unreal to you
A sunset calls me here
I swear to love it's true.

Petrified spirit, dilated stare...
I'm piercing through these icy shackles
Somehow cast around this nebula
Unwilling to enter my birth.

(Would you take my hand and follow through the ether?
would you sweat and dance in winters' bloom?
for radiant life to falter and beautiful tears to dry:
I'm gracefully bowing... in horror)

Waterless like the ocean
Drizzling like the deserts
Come emerge and wallow!
Pretend like nothing at all
Along the whirlwinds in your head.

...Along the whirlwinds in your head.

(frailty and strength marry and dissolve
and the sky fills up with poetry and song...
into the soothing black we go)
