Cartographer - Skein

A flash of clarity

In a world made of haze

A flash of clarity

In a world made of haze

A fleeting memory

Like a spark before the flame

Brings me to a halt

Passing scenery

Like a song once lost coming back

Takes a hold of me

A flash of clarity

In a world made of haze

Of haze

What has been lost

What has been lost

I’ll connect the dots

Draw the lines between

To complete the map I hope will lead me on

I’ll connect the scars

Draw the lines between

To complete the map I hope will lead me on

I hold it close to me

Like a picture fading to a blur

Just for a heartbeat

Before letting go

Before unraveling this tangled skein

Into something new

And the fire I’ll burn

Is a cleansing one

For tomorrow

In the dusk of a dying day

I lay my memories to sleep under the open sky

And open myself to the wait

And the promise

Of a dawn

To come

Connect the dots

Lines between
