Darkness EP, 2013

O momento fantástico em que se redescobre a poesia onde menos se espera. :)

You fixed your eyes on us
Your flesh and blood
A sculpture of water and unsettled dust

And there was bad blood in us
We learned our lesson
Genesis to the last generation

So we wrestle with it all
The concept of grace
The faithful concrete
As it breaks our fall

Our questions are all the same
A den of cold words
How they feel brand new
Against different time frames

A den of cold words
Against different time frames

We know it all by heart
The whole is greater
Than the sum of its parts
We heard it all before
And beauty there echoes
The speck of our souls

Like firewood burning bright
In the dead of winter
Now only the flicker can cling to this life

So we heard it over mass
Is a faith, a prediction
Wear our tradition until we collapse
And argue our bearings until we collapse

We study our story arcs
Inherently good
Or were we broken right from the start?

Our hesitant fingerprints
Trace every mountain
Lace every valley
Until we’re convinced

We know it all by heart
Every blade of grass
Bears our mark

And the name will be engraved
Oh it’s just another word
For being afraid

We know it all by heart
The whole is so much greater
Than the sum of its parts

We heard the truth before
And beauty there echoes
The speck of our souls
