lyrics

So many times
After the swelter of my plunge
Into the noise of my will
I dream of a body
On a shore that is still
Between the waves escharotic
And the dunes that all glow
Because the sands are all embers

A kindness it would be
To let the burned be
Drowned to the gills.
In the coral and silt.
Let him drink of his fill

A kindness it would be
To let the burned be
Drowned to the gills.
In the coral and silt.
Let him drink of his fill
In the maelstrom that twirls
All the salt and burnt skin.

Part wave,
The shape will subside
In silver outline, subliminal strip

Part wave and part mist
The frame will collapse
The shape, will not, will not remain.

I didn’t think that this is the end for us all
I didn’t think that this is the end of it all.

Too bad we never learnt from our dreams
What we lacked.

How many times
Will I dream of a shore?
Where my body is hollow
Where tides have no pull
And my will has no weight.
