lyrics

Too ripe for the tree, the time spent to me.
I hold that granule because of its discrete interval.
The seconds we caught. The hours we stole.
The granules we lock become precious
as time makes them motes.
It’s larger than you know,

the quilt, it unfolds.
The people look old.
The specs are golden motes that you know,
you study, to grow.

So store the ones
for the absence that’s growing,
if there’s one safe place, I’ll tell you when I know.
So store the ones for the absence that’s growing
if there’s one safe place, I’ll tell you if I’m old.

A lady. It seems, in Jeopardy.
In a mind that needs release from the tree.
To watch it grow, to watch it breathe, to watch it explain, observing the need.
You hold the granules of time, and they form the lens of your mind
And they color your view most every time,
they color the memories of the blind.

If there’s one safe place, I’ll tell you, if we align.
If there’s one safe place, I’ll tell you,
if we meet again.

So you forge them, to be one
with the thing that the universe knows.
It watches
existence,
but we are it.

And those granules are it.
And the universe is generous, because they glow.

We own the time.
Only memory makes us think that it’s a fine
smoke that will never subside
and drift off to places
so high and away.
The people say.
The people say,

when the quilt unfolds it’s larger than you know.

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
