lyrics

An isthmus, a glacier, a vast and sullen desert / A mossy haven seared to stricken tinder / A homeward vision perpetually distant / A precious body crumbled to dust in our hands
Desperate stewards of a fast-eroding levee / Hobbled crabs tracing circles in the sand / We reach, lunging useless at her shadow / In confusion as she recedes like the tide
The lurch of vertigo on the precipice of cold nostalgia /
Crumbling facade of the present clutching at our wrists with hands
made of ice
In every star a hungry and wandering ghost, in every heart a churning mass of worms
For such a fragile lie we thirst, we convulse / On our knees as
penitents in a lake of dust
And she wears her crown of asphodel, slick with dew, though they grow at the mouth of hell.
