once we were human in each other's arms we were shown mysteries we could hardly fathom and we held them to our hearts now we’ve lost the music and sold our souls to the stars what ever happened to the thunder and the calling of the true in static water i saw my own reflection in moving shining waters i learned about the essence sentence me to this willow tree and i’ll be bound for silence swallowing the marrow you neglected all the violence sister of the wilderness sister of the sea respect the aging waterlily and tie your hands to me come now what are we doing forever running around in circles i am choking upon these words its not their fault wisdom is stolen and made to fit in a box our hands are like flowers eaten by a fox we cut off our clothes to make room for the world and disguised our souls in nothing feelings suspended we rear-ended the world stood upon bridges waving at girls shreds of starlight reflect the falling carriages sadness and birth are beyond our marriages same story told throughout the eons our personal feelings are diluted in the sea just as we could no longer hold on our shadows found the ground and we floated down to safety

what is wisdom and what is love
once we were human in each other's arms we were shown mysteries we could hardly fathom and we held them to our hearts now we’ve lost the music and sold our souls to the stars what ever happened to the thunder and the calling of the true in static water i saw my own reflection in moving shining waters i learned about the essence sentence me to this willow tree and i’ll be bound for silence swallowing the marrow you neglected all the violence sister of the wilderness sister of the sea respect the aging waterlily and tie your hands to me come now what are we doing forever running around in circles i am choking upon these words its not their fault wisdom is stolen and made to fit in a box our hands are like flowers eaten by a fox we cut off our clothes to make room for the world and disguised our souls in nothing feelings suspended we rear-ended the world stood upon bridges waving at girls shreds of starlight reflect the falling carriages sadness and birth are beyond our marriages same story told throughout the eons our personal feelings are diluted in the sea just as we could no longer hold on our shadows found the ground and we floated down to safety
