lyrics

Dearly beloved now we’re parted by the shimmering sheet of a ghost, we’ll congregate still beating hearts and entangled souls in this grieving host. Now in the sunlight that reflects off the trodden smooth stone of the churchyard steps, there’s a million bright sparks in every sight marks you.
Lift me from my anxiety and my anguish will recede. As my body feeds this indifferent universal greed I am broken by the breeze I fly in as you’re bleeding, crying, as humanity breathes another sigh in and nausea drives in skin to break the fall.
Victims of the thought-crimes of tunnels and straight lines, the struggle to make up lost space and lost time. Existence is biased to skin, ears and eyes and knows nothing of beauty that consciousness hides.
So still my mind. Still my heart.
Remember me so fondly now that I’ve passed beyond the screen. In the rush of leaves; my whispered screams. Who’d have thought that life was really just a dream of violence; the push and pull of the chemicals come blinding wool, and I’m sick and tired of not knowing The All.
In the light of dawn is a life reborn and I know my time will come but gone and flung I know that we all become one.
Though I lived my life with love, pride and ire, respect my desire to give up the fight. The embers that rise from the funeral pyre; a sure fire signal that I am alright.
So still my mind. Still my heart.
It’s a beautiful thing to lose the self and come one with the earth and everything else. I am particles of perfect health. For me you need not cry. Feel my in the wind on the back of your neck; in the pressure of every breath; we will never be consumed by death if we refuse to draw the line where we lie.
