lyrics

Evergreens
Towering
Never seen
This place has a memory

A stillness
A rot
An atrophy
All necessary

Never seen
Towering
Evergreens
This place has a memory

Harbingers of growth
Circadian blight

Erosion of time lost
Falling perpetually to the bend
Reaching out for a hand
Wrought by time

Waning wanderer
Searching for shelter
Tarnished land
Created by an anger
We don’t understand
Reflections eclipsed by circumstance

A longing
An absence
A want

Indifferent
To what
Has gone

A desire path
No more than overgrowth

Evergreens
Towering
Never seen
This place has a memory

A stillness
A rot
An atrophy
All necessary

Guards of the glade
Show me pity
Cultivate meaning

Time will shoulder
this vessel
no more
Unfolding
refolding
This is all too familiar

An unmarked grave
of the mercurial man;
A gilded cairn to guide your hand

An unmarked grave
of the mercurial man;
A gilded cairn to guide your hand

A green canopy;
A blanket of black earth

A green canopy;
A blanket of black earth

The mind’s cage has rusted apart
The mind’s cage has rusted apart
The mind’s cage has rusted apart
The mind’s cage has rusted apart
The mind’s cage has rusted apart
The mind’s cage has rusted apart
