lyrics

I want the silence back… sleeping colossus.
I want the wonder back… but I spoke to slow again.
Like every day, it gets away.
In an ancient place I felt the moon in wane.

So pick a headstone from the creek bed, disrupt the roots.
Mountain so high it stops the sound.
Gotta dance with the dark to open the door.

Your identity is nowhere to be found,
Your divinity is sleeping underground
