From the recording This Cold Desire
Lyrics
MAPS
Numbers and surveys, guides and how-to’s
These navigations, they don’t ring true
I come from ages of stone and sea
Like ink on parchment
written on me
And this cold desire, the ways that I’ve been lost
And this ring of fire, the place that I must cross
Just to become
Just to become
Just to become
I know I’d see it if I’d just look
I don’t need programs, I don’t need books
What can they tell me? What can they know?
I am contained here
I’m on my own
And this cold desire, the ways that I’ve been lost
And this ring of fire, the place that I must cross
Just to become
Just to become
Just to become
Before I got here, before I learned
Before the lessons when truth got burned
I come from ages of stone and sea
Like ink on parchment
written on me
