lyrics

There is an answer for everything,
and it lies
at a discrete address.
It resides at the end of the page.

There is a world inside your head.
You draw a map
around the landmarks
and it traces,
it leads:
the missing piece.

I hope you find
the protagonist,
lost in fields of simple crosses.
The orbital's glance is so loving,
it's not horror,
it drops its payload,
the tears.
But Oh, God
To bear (know) the volume,
that's why they made your loving
the pump.

and there are beautiful fields
to line up the souls,
but we miss the point.
At the end of every rambling string of words,
some feet beyond the page,
breathes the essence
and the state.
You'd need a videotape
(to recreate the negative space).

Let's hope my love blooms tonight,
the city is awake,
their tungsten filaments dilate,
and float in the evacuated space.
Their signals leak out.
Those packets radiate.

Let's hope the counter clicks again,
the sweetest beta decay.
The cerulean bath dilates.
The infant stares outside its cage...

Watershed
by The Silence Kit

Aggressive when necessary, but showing a control and self-awareness often missed in music that allows the song to penetrate to a more personal level for the listener. The Azure Sea
