lyrics

Silhouettes

If every song we sing is just a list of our desires and regrets
All our forms and idioms, genre tropes and synonyms, just lights that let us play with silhouettes

My shadow longs to dance with yours for just as long as light endures
I come to you naked, impoverished, and broken
Tongue tied and tripping over words I've heard misspoken
My only offering is some honey that I've stolen
For us to share here in the stillness silent golden
My eyes my heart my mind for you wide open
Will you take me as I am?
A foolish man whose tears replenish every ocean
With desires and regrets
Unseen hands, marionettes
The light fantastic casting dancing silhouettes
The light fantastic casting dancing silhouettes

The universe expanding sending shooting stars
Secret missives from afar
I love you after death and before you were born
I love you far beyond the known and deeper than these bones
Still propping up this mortal coil
That tends the earth and works the soil
Our vines entwined outside of space and time and everything
I ever thought I could or might've understood or should or would have done a different way
All paths lead back to you
Oh Love
Oh God
Oh Sweet
Impermanent flesh
No
Desire
No
Regret
Yes
Yes
Yes
The light fantastic casting our dancing silhouettes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Casting our dancing silhouette
