I was still dripping my ichor into the only ancient I had found as old as myself Life seeps through the cracks in my skull, it seems the hum of my prayers has found you with its melodies in the dark What would you taste that my words could not satisfy What touch would bring you peace That the eons in my mind have not already lain you to sleep and tucked you in What is the edge, when this wanderer has only known falling, grasping for the stars all the way down It seems to even the foolish that this love be undying in its shallows As you swim from shore to shoal, that depths would make themselves known to you With the ache of the earth and all her tears to comfort you Oh skyline where you meet earth I will find you This sacrifice has bought us sweet hours on the back of your silence Coaxing fire from your lungs when I have been so calm As your storm struggles to find its footing These are the prints in the sand, these are the whispers for the wind I will sing them to you, oh keeper of days still behind the lock
