lyrics

our closing palms
won’t embrace the folding sky
& we’ll never see just where we are
if we keep our sights fixed upon each other’s eyes

& you say now i’ve found my place
i should just polish the bars of my cage
& since i serve as my own guard
they’ll be no chance of prison break

well, i lost the word you gave
it escaped my fickle breath
with one fist in the grave
& one in the wordless depth

but we are so slightly here
building walls with broken clay
& i would hurry along
but i know babel was not built in a day

& our closing palms
won’t postpone the folding sky
but our open hands might
shine a light brighter than any eye
