rising
out of a veil of clay
what shall I wear today
chisel away the plane in relief
chasing
yesterday's trail of crumbs
mending what's left undone
sending me back to sleep
silence
holding her hands in prayer
is anyone hiding there
a song without a name
now you see now you don't
try to fling your arms around a ghost
wrapping empty boxes just for show
where does the soul go
the battle against the pain
is only a vain display
a version of my self that I made
childlike
together we'll turn from fear
tell me what I need to hear
help is on its way
now you see now you don't
try to fling your arms around a ghost
wrapping empty boxes just for show
I can't bear the silence
with my head deep in the shells
drag the man from dry stone land
and garland me with bells
swirl along the shoreline
intertwined and in the flow
spelling out a question mark
for them that care to know
