lyrics

Oh fragrant day, radiant day, symphony!
We’ve sacrificed love and life to the fire
Atoms and the void synchronize in me
Captured in a wave cresting on a sea

I am cause. I am effect. Beautifully awake
Caught in this balancing act
‘Til the day I break

Every thought I have bubbling to my peak
Shift-shaping my form just perceptibly
Every urge I have an eddy from the deep
That weighs at my back with tidal gravity

I am cause. I am effect. Brutally awake
Caught in this balancing act
‘Til the day I break

Roses
Atoms and void
Skylark
Atoms and the void
Rock of ages
Atoms and the void
Silence
Silence!
Empires
Atoms and the void
Seasons
Atoms and the void
Memory…

Reason…
