lyrics

-OPEN-

Here we are, wide awake and forming,
the after worlds come and gone
Listening to the silver twilight

Sought to kill but I was wrong,
and on this mornings breadth I couldn’t pray for much,
but to gaze into your amber eyes, and get on

Gonna drive some more, we’re stuck in the story
We’ll try and pretend, this day is enough
Forsaken in a way, like stars upon the cross
Exchanging our names, to crash under the waves again

Gotta crack the whip, we’re sated yet starving
still trying to pretend, the spaces are empty
Embrace what you are, a star upon the cross
You can’t make it stop
Just become, all of the way, OPEN

The particle of the article,
streaming fast all the times of old
You watch it go, you watch it grow
stitching time with the weight of gold
And to taste it all, embrace it all
Feel the rise, and you can’t ignore what we started
We will never know if it ever was

Gonna drive some more
don’t stop part of the way
You can’t understand
So just become, all of the way, OPEN
