1.
The Sun started pulling the words from my glistening mouth Leaving notes in the air, are you listening? In silver streaks the wind blew Gliding along radiant judgement Monuments sprang up Striving for spiritual diamonds And as we crawled up the dune Swords in the sand... colours erupted

Casting stones on the valley like starlight on the ocean When they put you in the ground with your lungs drowned in honey the gods began to turn over In hollow tombs with emerald walls reflect off your eyes that turned into rage when you're older I couldn't guess the dirt would smell so good hold the gaps of Behistun
4.
No more watching, no more waiting The age of morning time, I materialize So I can live up this life, open to light An unstoppable force pushing this horn, it's my pride And it gusts through my hair, and your eyes I'll serve the sun till my spirit is as one and I'm golden I'll close my eyes and surrender to the voice from inside The cliffs that shade the temple remind us of blue sky These arms that bear no burden, reaching for gods eyes

Oh, paved road, as I glide, past the city Falling in love with nothing, fine with just being A gorgeous shade of purple, unfolds the night The world that breathes from this chest, lets out a sigh That breeze that blows this journey, I will arrive

I touched the temporal skin of our celestial dome With a feeling of love, I called out to home Mercy for who had it worse, skinned alive If they ever make it home, you were right

Carnelian 02:26
I heard the blood call inside me I wanted to believe that it came from above The world's seat with no one beside me Found inside, I begin I collapse at the first call oh, the earth king I'd never felt so small

Hypostases 04:57
Painted Star On the 20th try, I sunk Inside In mage's robes, with senses closed I wanted to take my clothes off merge with the lake, swapping space but what am I? Where is my source, Earth scraper My spirit flows Like the Nile goes...

Keeping pace, I can't stand to look at your expectant face Selfishness, trying to prove the blessings that haven't earned their place Recklessness, I sat on a rock with a sudden rage Doubt said, the statue that you carry doesn't have a place My aching legs, sinking sand under its crushing weight But in my eyes, it looks fine I won't change my mind, behold the sky When there's good times, let this remind And will I die, if I don't try

Fearfully, I stayed up Ceaselessly, I tore at sand And I broke down when I told him I miss you so much The clouds, the peaks, the march of feet anything to seize my mind and what it left behind I was thrown down but I didn't have the same strength to move I miss you so much Deep in my blood They're chasing my love Singing ocean The water burns the moon I miss you so much Carved in the mud

Awoke in a stream of thought How I've been shaped Your hands in the clay What used to be dreamed thoughts You startled my wrists Culminating in this Is there meaning in each place The space between clouds And what this is about That love is this learning Forever yearning Exchanging our specters And the stories they tell us How do I remember? Are you my protector? The place was torn asunder A brief glimpse shown in thunder
