Rumor of Light

These days all fold into one
As the seams evaporate
Feel the pressure from the outside
Blur the line between madness and reason
Euphoric moment counterfeit
Withering expectations
No feelings of resolve
And I wait for a change
At expense of motion

The outer rim of earth we swim
Adept to the way life can overwhelm
At dawn you allow your mind to dwell
The sun runs on empty, it's over now
I see the earth hollowing and frail
Silent now as ever
Will you remember the way it felt
Higher now than ever

The light flickers in waves
And radiates its will to keep aflame
The distance between this
Shadows dance in place
An imprint to forget

These days that fold into one
Are depleting rapidly
Calculated to devolve
And I cried for a change
And held faith unbroken

You're on the backtrack crawling your way out
The light inside you carry is weighed down
But on the asphalt
The rain falls through waiting hands
(The earth we swim)

The outer rim of earth we swim
Adept to the way life can overwhelm
At dawn you allow your mind to dwell
The sun runs on empty, it's over now
I see the earth hollowing and frail
Silent now as ever
Will you remember the way it felt
Higher now than ever
