Lyrics:
Of Woe
I have given up the word
No more veiled pretense
Oh, the word
Suffocating and meager
And I’m trying to keep
Breathing in heat
Recount the untold
Notion and belief
A Doubted way
Vague outcome
Evolving term
And regrettable measure
The angle will drift
Meaning will heave
Into a wider frame
Of woe
Dwell within the warm curves
- Imperial father figure -
Of woe
Unthinkable, in range, field
Widened out by breathing
Enraging vibration
Of a petrified motif
Given the tone
Given the rhythm
Of woe
My heart
Will carry on
Pondering on the world
The unhidden beauty and
The dark grey heavy air
Οpen the doors
Anything may befall
Be humble and grateful
Humble and grateful
Migratory Birds
I remember
The day I heard
“The raindrops you feel
Are not for real
Neither rainbows are”
And then I broke into a thousand migratory birds
On the ocean
On newfound grounds
On the heady breeze
The firmament!
- Purple
- Fiery red
I’m heading there where, what I’ve been told, can be undone
