Climb -

I am not the only one

To foresee the fall of God

I am not the only one

To take pride in all I’ve found

I am not the only one

To feel pain from all I’ve found

I am not the only one

To know faith from all I’ve found

I am not the only one…

Receive a calling

It’s not secondhand

How can I know for sure?

I know I know for sure

Starfire

Shrouds the sky

Desire

Born from lies

Inspire

Breed hive mind

Admire

God on high

(Excerpt from «The Shrinking Man»)

So close, the infinitesimal and the infinite

But suddenly I knew they were really the two ends of the same concept

The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet

Like the closing of a gigantic circle

I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heavens, the universe,

worlds beyond numbers

God’s silver tapestry spread across the night

And in that moment I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite

And I felt my body dwindling

Pupils amass, give all to your Father

Give all you’ve got, don’t succumb to greed

It’s not enough, you must do more

Serve me, your spirit be free

I can’t reason with the truth

I was never meant to make it this far
