Polyphasic Sleep: i) Aurora

Lyrics

All that you retrieve may prolong our reprieve But the thought of letting go still scares the shit out of me I'll always hoard inconsequential things, I'm a glutton for the penance, I've retained all the apathy I covet nostalgia and the hurt it brings Bring it back to me, just bring it back now So I've given small hours to soliloquy I can never seem to sleep, but only contemplate malady To antagonise that hurt in me Antagonise it all, and I start to crawl You have been my friend, through all of this, and to me that alone is a tremendous thing Hear our Indian summer sing We are incandescent on the eaves Has it been so long since that sweet chariot swung so low overhead And took each of our breaths With no penance there's no death I'd missed the teeth that fit my old wounds I know I need to let it go, I just can't forget it And I drowned in the amphetamine monsoon Some years had passed before I came to see, I was blinded by the lies, I just can't forget it That those bite marks, they fit my own teeth So what of my friend? Alone and confined to a hospital bed Reticent, sacrosanct, we will all go along, and if you leave us so, then you have done us no wrong Just keep on We are incandescent on the eaves Has it been so long since that sweet chariot swung so low overhead And took each of our breaths With no penance there's no death I will edify, all who stuck by our side, faces illumined by a new, and surreal sunlight Death took precedence over faith in old dreams, the more I gave away, the more delighted I became I will bring you light and I'll endure the burn, unashamed Reach out hear me now Our voices ring out the same Reach out hear me now Our voices ring out the same We are incandescent on the eaves Has it been so long since that sweet chariot swung so low overhead And took each of our breaths With no penance there's no death
