lyrics

Light deferred as you wandered skyward
An empty phial swallowed
You closed your eyes and the empty sky was
Hollow
Light interred as you turned the cistern
The crystal vein descended
You said my name and the crystal rain was
Warm and splendid

Light deferred as you wandered skyward
The mirrored body teeming
You landed down and the mirrored ground was
Gleaming
Light interred as you turned the cistern
An empty body dawning
You turned around and the empty ground was
Cracked and yawning

Unsettled amber towers
Unsettled ground
Bent columns built on flowers
Folding
Columns about were folding
And viaducts burning down
Unsettled amber towers
Unsettled ground
Trimmed shadows told the hour
Holding
Withering arms withholding
As shadows were turning 'round
Viaducts burning down

Light deferred as you wandered skyward
An empty phial swallowed
You closed your eyes and the empty sky was
Hollow
Light interred as you turned the cistern
An empty body dawning
You turned around and the empty ground was
Cracked and yawning

Unsettled amber towers
Unsettled ground
Bent columns built on flowers
Folding
Columns about were folding
And viaducts burning down
Unsettled amber towers
Unsettled ground
Trimmed shadows told the hour
Holding
Withering arms withholding
As shadows were turning 'round
Viaducts burning down
