The River

Waiting sun, how far must we run
Till we’re free from the life on the dark side
Marble moon, inscribed in all signs of rune
In a place where the dark will let you be the only one

Every step feels like a falling star
Burning out before it finds its mark
And the echoes spin like distant hymns
But the silence swallows every part

Phantom light, lead me through the night
But the shadows whisper, you’re already gone
Borrowed time, slipping from my mind
Like a song half-sung, like a dawn undone

Sable room, the walls forever in tune
To the way in which we know ourselves
Fainting star, somehow, we’ve run too far
And why is it cold in the warmth of my heart

The wind carries secrets I can’t outrun
Like a voice in the static, half-heard, half-gone
If the sky’s just a mirror of all we’ve become
Then why do I still feel so alone

Phantom light, lead me through the night
But the shadows whisper, you’re already gone
Borrowed time, slipping from my mind
Like a song half-sung, like a dawn undone

Felt the empty dark sink under my skin
Let the children laugh and I’ll be there
Felt my own reflection, who is that dazed man
Come back down from there and I’ll tell you it won’t be the same

And the sky forgets our names
As the tides erase the traces we made
