lyrics

Do you have kindness for us,
The unknown?
Stuck in this grey elsewhere
Dreaming of the amber warmth of home.
A place to break open,
To finally unfurl.
To be more than this longing,
This song with no voice,
Seeds with no soil.
Trapped in these bodies
That are feeling so lifeless,
Like no one can feel our desire.
Shut out of language,
We’re totally full.

We, the Nobodies,
The easy effaced.
Broad-brushed in backgrounds
As negative space.

We wish upon,
Oh! we wish…
We, the seen as unseen:
Them without separation in sight.
The known as unknown:
Them without separation of need.
We, the complete.
Behind the horizon, we wait.
Holes in our eyes,
Everything feels the same
Like it’s nothing at all.
There, only in name.

Behind the horizon, we wait…

We move like the tide,
Like the wind,
Like the earth.

We sound like a wisp,
Like a whir,
Like a clang.

Collapsed into each other,
We can’t see our own shapes.

Behind the horizon, we wait…
