lyrics

The markings of a Higher Order
had all the makings of a startling happiness
ready to brim over. This is a question
of human endeavor.

This is a question of human endeavor.

The system has been cleared perfectly,
to the point of origination.
This is really the best we can do.
The system has been cleared perfectly,
to the point of origination.
This is really the best we can do.

A voice, a mountain, unspeaks everything—
a textile unraveled and turned to the wind.

The station’s left empty.
The station, itself, has left.
Left behind the trains,
the whole hope and handle
of forward motion…

But I’m still here, dressed and steady,
completely unaware as I watch
a grammar drape itself over a country.

I’m completely unaware as I watch…

The system has been cleared perfectly,
to the point of origination.
This is really the best we can do.
The system has been cleared perfectly,
to the point of origination.
This is really the best we can do.

The turn, and a country unwraps itself
from a pastoral veil. None of it is left anymore.
None of it is left anymore.

Risking a satellite island of loss. Risking a satellite island of loss. Risking a satellite island of loss. Risking a satellite island of loss…….

The turn, and a country unwraps itself
from a pastoral veil.
None of it is left anymore. None of it is left anymore.
