Aeon Now - Human Kite lyrics

Once I woke to find a splinter forgotten in my northern eye scratched and scribbled to remove it but it was shy so warm inside tried my best to re-remember what foe or friend had placed it there wading through the hall of records the sand and sea beneath my hair I was lost and floating frantic through such piles of ancient grime I had never learned to swim in my own kaleidoscopic mind always stuck to simpler waters soft push and pull of others' tides shallow blues and lofty hazels the only riddles I'd dare ride though when I confront the mirror the look she gives me is black as night deeper than our mother ocean absorbing every speck of light Once I dreamed the end of winter was hidden in my southern eye I clicked my teeth and asked for spring but she was wilting closed as ice I tried to warm her by the flame that leaped out of my northern stare lacing lashes through the ashes powdered gray compressed my care I was hidden between pages obsessing over abstract time between all the roman numerals a ticking face so far from mine kept my wings all folded under moving within the grid and guide but today I'll test my edges and fall or free from off the side with the moon I will uncover my waxing luminescent sight for I am just a constellation and lightning flies this human kite
