Departures

Still can't forgive what our sky did
The void ain't return, God, but might it
Don't have the strength left to fight it
If it's the ending just write it
Paper just light it, it burns
Chasing the twists and the turns
Facing our daily concerns
Empty like funeral urns

I have seen all of the visions
The silence, the cataclysms
Truly the darkness has risen
Lord lift me out of this prison
When I see creation on high
A motion I cannot deny
The plan for the planet is nigh
And Lord this isn't goodbye

We are descendants of water
Drowning the pain of our daughters
Can we be bothered to bother
Pushing the Stone of the Father
Racing the turn of the tide
To worlds we cannot describe
Are we ready to die
I guess we gotta decide

In the absence of a judge who will claim me
I have been left here hanging, swinging in the wind
A whole new life I'm not ready to begin
Until I wash these hands of sin
Darling where you've been
I need you to be whole again

Plagues and wonders for sale
Wrapping up frogs in the hail
Plans too hungry to fail
Let loose like dogs on the trail
No trail, the Way of the Self
Like braille can only be felt
Unseen the Goddess she knelt
Just beyond the cards that were dealt

Everyone got ways to see
Some are mystic, some science-y
Committees, cults, and secret societies
What sights do you see? Confide in me
But whatever you do don't lie to me
Whenever you act that way you die to me
Truth don't bother me but it still seem odd to me
The chained figures hidden in astronomy
Celestial pond ain't look calm to me
Those mythologies don't belong to me
True wilderness don't seem wrong to me
I guess the cacophony is all one song to me

True wilderness don't seem wrong to me
I guess the cacophony is all one song to me

After the storm the air is hypnotic
Even the garbage erotic
Show me a gimmick I've bought it
Name me a virus I've caught it
Call it affective disorder
Caught in the air, social distorter
Sun at our side, crossing the border
In a new world, upon a new order

The old evidence stopped making sense
The old jobs just won't pay the rent
Cities fall, rise and descent
Close your eyes to the smoke and then repent
Close your eyes to the soul and then create
In this infinite space it ain't never too late
Heaven ain't a place and while we wait
There's so much more pain, isn't God great

Isn't God kind? Leaving behind
All of our lives to the struggles of time
Making the climb like Amazon vines
Drawing the lines, eternal design
Drawing the lines, scene of the crime
Drawing the lines between you and I
Those that have left, those left behind
Finna be fine, it's all so divine

We are One of the part
We are One of the part
We are One of the part
And now I'm ready to start

We are One of the part
We are One of the part
We are One of the part
And now I'm ready to start
