lyrics

I found a quiet place to rest
Where for to watch acquilescence
Of converging points of view
And in a daze decided to
Leave the days that I've accrued-
The sieve that I'm sifting through

In the shade of the memories
of the twilight of what's to be-
I'm sediment in the ebb and flow
Settling into a hundred stones

On a whim I flew a kite
But I'm not an anchor line
So carefully I let it go
I let it go
I watched it crashing through the clouds
Like a punctuation to a thought
Dot dot dot...
Shrinking in the nonsense of my memory

I'm used to chipping away at the same old block-
The fake world full of momentary ens
You know I won't shape the life I imagine
I'm loosely attached to the appellation-
Hanging by a thread.

Hanging by a thread.
