There's a planet in the sky,
it doesn't twinkle like the stars.
I guess nothing's very close or very far.
In the elder bush there's a faery,
there's one in the rosemary--
beckoning borders beyond the fields we know.
There's a quivering in my periphery
and I'm forgetful as I walk by.
There's eyes that are breathing,
and mouths opening in the sky.
And I'm not afraid to die, I already thought I did.
My friends beat me there so I don't care, I feel equipped.
There's no below, there's no above,
there's a force that we mistakenly call love.
And of course there's a lot to seek and not a lot of sense.
What can we know but through direct experience?
So I'm not afraid to die, I already thought I did.
My friends beat me there so I don't care, I feel equipped.
