Understorey

I saw a dead unicorn
It had a leaf in its mouth
In the wind tunnel valley
Nobody could tell me

New forest we're in
Sunlight running dim
Foliage is so thick
My firmest truths wear thin
How far is the horizon
From the state I'm in?

Everything is set in a low, gorgeous glow
Whether it's a sight or sound or both I do not know
But it feels very eerie here
I can tell something is near

Voices from all around
Distant singing pulsars and mumbling mantle underground
The time is now
But do we exist behind or before this now?
That's not for you or I to know
Just try to enjoy it
'cause I'm doing my best
You are an imperfect hero of mine
