Mimicking Birds - Lumens lyrics
[Mimicking Birds - Lumens lyrics]
There’s light first in the east
With autumn more south
On and in your eyes, ears, nose, skin
And mouth
Where we’re supposed to let everything out
Ain’t nothing left to gripe about
There’s grey sand on the
Banks of Gleneden Beach
And green moss on the rocks under fir trees
There are nice days in the
Winter where the shadows freeze
The stubborn fog stuck in the valley
With an afternoon sun tease
Just enough to paint the light
With each lumen more hue sent
To the human eye
The lens bend includes to a deeper inside
Each color each hue while
Your bones dry white
There’s still teeth in the open
Jaw of a fossilized beast
And more pieces of bone in
The hillside from the Pleistocene
There are yet to be born new
Species among my own family
And we are each and every creature in outer
Space on land and in the sea
Bored enough to paint with the light
Our flesh worn deep red
With blue veins inside
And the amber haze of a summer's twilight
The lens bending hues into human eyes
There is light last in the
West with summer more north
Parts of Japan wash-up on shore
There’s still light left in the lighthouse
With that ghost of yours
Looking out along the horizon
Lost vessels found on the horizon
Blood vessels drowned on the horizon
No turning back around
Once past the event horizon line
Bending the bow and shield of
Orion my body drowns
Swim into the next horizon line
Staring out along the horizon
Can’t hear a sound from within your dimension
While I’m on the other side
Of the event horizon line
Endlessly through time
There is light over here then none over there
Star ashes everywhere
There are songs that disappear without
Ever finding an ear
And there are strong storms that
Remove whole landforms crawling
With millions of wheels while
One engine steers
And smears the painted light
With each lumen new hue sent to the human eye
Like the reds, greens
And blues in the northern sky
Each color of you blues
While your bones dry white
With autumn more south
On and in your eyes, ears, nose, skin
And mouth
Where we’re supposed to let everything out
Ain’t nothing left to gripe about
There’s grey sand on the
Banks of Gleneden Beach
And green moss on the rocks under fir trees
There are nice days in the
Winter where the shadows freeze
The stubborn fog stuck in the valley
With an afternoon sun tease
Just enough to paint the light
With each lumen more hue sent
To the human eye
The lens bend includes to a deeper inside
Each color each hue while
Your bones dry white
There’s still teeth in the open
Jaw of a fossilized beast
And more pieces of bone in
The hillside from the Pleistocene
There are yet to be born new
Species among my own family
And we are each and every creature in outer
Space on land and in the sea
Bored enough to paint with the light
Our flesh worn deep red
With blue veins inside
And the amber haze of a summer's twilight
The lens bending hues into human eyes
There is light last in the
West with summer more north
Parts of Japan wash-up on shore
There’s still light left in the lighthouse
With that ghost of yours
