lyrics

Life is very short and
Life is very long
Perceptions linked by memory
In a spiral wrapped around
A dark and growing evergreen
Whose ends cannot be seen
At each elusive now
The light of chance shines free

I’ll try to savor this singularity
Try to draw it close to true
Try to crack this feeling open
And share its meat with you

The only thing new is this moment
A fulcrum to shift all time
A reminder in each revolution
We hold a lever in our lives

As the upward strand recedes
The next branch no longer clear
We continue sliding onwards
Unperceptive in our fear
Our habit and our history
Elide the thing that glimmers
But wonder feels possibility
In what vibrates, in what shimmers

I’ll try to hold this moment open
Try to hold it and consider
Try to make something beautiful
Something less bitter

Chorus
