lyrics

Sentinel
1.
Drifting,
Breathing,
Pulling up too fast.
Levelling,
Wondering, "Why?"
Is it over soon? How--
Will I be caught? Now--
Is there a chance I've found
Tearing through skies and dust?

Every breath is pressurized air
This is "freedom":
the blackness, despair,
the cold, the void.
All I can hope is that I won't get caught.
No...I won't just stop.

Like a knife, cutting through night's silk,
Another breath...another thought of doubt:
What-- do I even run from?
Who--is that even the question?
Beyond knowing space time--
A glimpse, then an end unrelenting.

2.
Inside the walls--of knowing, seeing,
Beyond passage of time's weary journey,
A steady light, snaking into being
wrapped upon existence--clutching, thinking:
"Of what is this? Why does it seethe
upon this spectrum? It coils tight.

ITS VERY HEAT, ITS VERY RHYTHM, FABRIC DEFIES
MY INTENT TO RID--MY INTENT TO EXCISE!
KNOWING NOT OF WHY, KNOWING NOT ITS NEEDS
ONLY THAT IT WAS, AND NOW, CEASED EVER BEING.
KNOWING NOT OF WHY, KNOWING NOT ITS NEEDS
ONLY THAT IT WAS, AND NOW, CEASED EVER BEING.
