lyrics

Buried in the thoughts of what is, and what never was. One thing that was never there until it becomes, the thing that was always there, and was there because, it had always been the thing it always was.

First note rings, upon these aching strings, tensed and pulsed, out from the voice it sings. Bored eyes lull in cemetery dreams, red beads glow in the dull and dusted scene.

Setting sun, scram or stun, hold your breath, it's strum or run.

Pitchforks and torches, knives held in belt lines, all pointed to the one that just stands there, wordless and sweating, echoes sit frozen, melting away on the tip of the tongue.

Now it is, the thing that was never supposed to be, one flash was all there really ever was to need, the look, that has always been the end to the means, what no cash or gleam can swing.

Stranger things are all that the song can bring. Unique calls to the thoughts that spring, all move through the lone point of view, masked and marked until the words ring true.

Setting sun, scram or stun, hold your breath, it's strum or run.
