understanding love as loss

Singer:silent planet

searching for solace in a toxic temple; fragments of lead climbing through your head;

stones load your coat as you wade through the winter current - dancing with the dead on the riverbed;

wanton hanging of the wise pale king. and i see myself. here we dream in a bed of seamless sleep

the rain never wakes you from your descent

sinking through subtle waves that disguise the current down below. you're pulled in the undertow. intricate: i watched the world dance inside your head

ephemeral: everything created must expire

misery: losing hope for a dying world

or did we lose hope in ourselves

my ineffable?

words lose sound with every fathom

further down

torn between two worlds - floundering in a state of metaxis. one is waning one is dead. in both we feel too much. we feel too much

intricate: i watched the world dance inside your head

ephemeral: everything created must expire

misery: losing hope for a dying world

or did we lose hope in ourselves

my ineffable?

most nights we merge into one dream; you mouth that four word sundering - soundless

but somehow deafening

i can't go on."
