1. Farewell To Sanctity
i return to soil.
accept what has been given to me.
many suns and moons have given me time.
i am at one with the light. i will stand among the earths spirits.
satellites carry me through air waves. my energy continuing to roam through
cables and through mind.
i am at one with the light.
i will burn the antennas and be free.
2. Empty Oceans
its pulling apart at the seams. the openness of the sky. the nakedness of the trees.
it is the reality i can not face with eyes open. drenched in this chemical.
a process that has become my burning left arm.
i see the crosses. they comfort me.
i see the crosses...
when syringes tease me and leave their mark. trails that i didnt want. but somehow i am stuck with them.
3. The Reconciliation of Ascension
healing stitches when i just want to lay in my bed. and be comforted by the delicate touch of insomnia.
conjoined with this cancer.
we are one.
i beg the son to ease this. i bear the scars of this. but i will suffer this. to be closer to you.
this test.
artificial lights shine on me. before i breathe anesthesia.
in my room, the lady in the radiator sings me songs
i ask her, "if you sing to me, will you become human?"
answers escape through your fingertips. as you shut the door behind you.
now we can live.
4. Instrumental
