The Crane Wives
Arcturus Beaming
[Verse 1]
I thank these walls, my hideaway
My sanctuary to worship the pain
I never thought I'd leave the cave
But I'm more curious than afraid
[Verse 2]
Stacking layers like sediment
Each one adding weight and compression
And I am tired of forming a cliff face
Inside of my chest now
My ribs ache from carrying it around
[Verse 3]
Craning my neck, I'm looking up
I'm grieving all that I gave up
Eyes focused on a pin of light
Arcturus beaming on a summer night
[Bridge]
Do you wonder who's looking back?
Another life-form on some undiscovered planet
A mirror image of us here, but they're pointing up at our sun and
Asking thеmselves
What exists bеyond, beyond, beyond, beyond?
[Verse 4]
This blinding light, this reckoning
There's more to life than suffering
But there's still time, it's not too late
Nothing will change until I change
