Paperstrips - Sublunar

A storm has crushed my favourite star

The light to help my body grow

Possibly maybe, here we are

It’s just a waste of time

Come and go

The mirrors make my body flat

And hide the plasters on my arms

A speck of hope’s been left ashore

But no one cares

Cares at all

In the world of convenient spells

My morning feet are numb

The question so incomplete

The answer never to be found

The shutter so low, we’re bound

To come up the way we are

The question so incomplete

The answer never to be found

So I’m back home

To give back all I’ve got

And dust the surface clean

And feel

The plasma in my blood

The salt in my sweat

The cross-section of my veins

The water in my breath

The universe at large

Sifting through my hands

Ever so intangible

But never so immense

So I give my loudest cry

Before my voice turns dead

Hoping to reverse the tide

In the face of nothingness

Holy water drunk in cups

Is filling up your lungs

A day that never comes again

A story told thousand times

It’s fine, it’s good enough

I’ll rest till I’m alive

A day that never comes again

A story told thousand times

So I’m back home

To give back all I’ve got

And dust the surface clean

And get my senses back

So I’m back home

Reading all my life

Inked on paperstrips

For the last time

The plasma in my blood

The salt in my sweat

The cross-section of my veins

The water in my breath

The universe at large

Sifting through my hands

Ever so intangible

But never so immense

So I give my loudest cry

Before my voice turns dead

Hoping to reverse the tide

In the face of nothingness
