lyrics

A vast expanse of human nothing,
Hangs like moisture in the air.
It beads on skin in little droplets.
And soothes the heat that burns you bare.

I heard a choir perform with an orchestra,
The horns and voices woven to rope.
All laughing in time,
And snapping their spines,
With tongues intertwined,
The sound was divine.

Intoxicating, sweet, and fragrant,
The nostrum fizzes down your throat,
It sets the midnight starer sleeping,
And wakes him silent and slow.

I found a compass dropped by the ocean tide,
With faded initials etched on the back,
It was covered in grime,
So the bronze wouldn't shine,
Had been rotted by time,
But it stuck in my mind.
