Lyrics
Lithe Body
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The indelible marks that you left
The idea that surpasses time
That repels reality as the object vanishes
How could I send you all that I made
When I didn't make it, it made me
And now I have something to contend with
A process enabled
The mission of a moving character
Would you please stay awhile
Still in the atmosphere
I'll keep you there unchanging
As I rearrange what I am
Congeal what is important
But not discarding aberrations
The lexicon of lineage
The idiom unfathomable
The crank of gears in motion
I don't want to be disturbed by it all, but I am
The stone thrown in silence waters
And the ripples swayed the barren shore
And your lithe body does emerge
Ever white in the moonlit night
