Lyrics
If I just sit here out of focus,
Can we at least still-frame our aging?
Error in mindset, err in motion
Listen how those raised in their cage won't sing
If you look past my attention span
Will you recall where we used to stare
Where we used to give our focus
There must be somewhere else you dream of
Authored in reverse,
Our waking signaled a now unresolved
Skew of stature
Our walls grew ever nearer
Nothing was there when you
Asked of its nature, you asked of its ire
You asked of us open, open, open but
There was nothing
Underneath our capture
We saw light bend through the surface
As we sank, as we dove deeper
Howl, oh the wind tore over
As we lied frozen on the hill we climbed
To watch our houses shrink in darkness
Lied still and there recalled
The sapling sprouting through the earth
And steel and stone, so gradual
It grew through anything
We came to believe if we set there,
If we stayed there
Enough for it to have sprouted through
The dirt, the earth,
The skin under our shirt, our tissue
Through our muscles through our
Ribcage before our organs or
Our spinal cord
And all the way through it grew, it grew
And it protruded
Several feet high as there we lied,
So there we lie
It came to come true, we fed its roots,
We bore its fruit
From then there was nothing we could do
Except to have just moved
Move
Apart
Apart
Nearer
Nearer
What grew
In us
In us
You knew
You knew
You knew
