The Ether, pt 2

from The Ether by mrmoth

lyrics

We meet in a forum of frightened eyes
Under harvest moon and watching skies
An animal of control but not so tame
I know who you are but not your name
Through a sea of tiny icelike stars
Voices beyond our vision open scars
Some predator tenses with skin undone
Foot forward, foot forward, foot forward run

Running on raped land our legs give way
We collapse to our knees, prey for the day
Over shoulders eyes wide and begging
The singing voices on our backs methodically digging
The voice is mine and eyes mine thus
And I know that we are me as I am us
It's my own hand that's pulling my fall
Hand forward, foot forward, foot forward crawl

Heaven's keys held tight in hand
I dropped them to the desperate land
If I could return there I just might
Reclaim the soul I left that night

And in the end we know
The greatest challenge is accepting contentment
But will we be as articulate
When expressing our pleasures
As when we speak our pain?
