On nights like this When the sky is a black cup of coffee You can sweep your hand across the velvet of nothingness And feel the pinpricks of the infinite stars On nights like this When warm air comes up from the gulf And a cold breeze clips in from the north You stand and stare Trying to comprehend the gods in their houses And how limitless the heavens have become And on nights like this When there is nothing above you Nothing beside or around you No connection to this lifetime or any other There is the knowledge That you are the fathomless And the gods in their heavens cannot possibly comprehend How infinite you are

On boundless nights
On nights like this When the sky is a black cup of coffee You can sweep your hand across the velvet of nothingness And feel the pinpricks of the infinite stars On nights like this When warm air comes up from the gulf And a cold breeze clips in from the north You stand and stare Trying to comprehend the gods in their houses And how limitless the heavens have become And on nights like this When there is nothing above you Nothing beside or around you No connection to this lifetime or any other There is the knowledge That you are the fathomless And the gods in their heavens cannot possibly comprehend How infinite you are
