Sleep Paralysis

from Ambivale by Jake Patrick Williams

/

lyrics

i stood witness to myself
drift into the cold sun,
sails be burned as charity for blood,
in my veins, in the sea,
carried from ancient waters,
to alters of the high
through the sons and the daughters,
just another broken philosophy

these are the words of where stars are born
and where planets die,
where galaxies collide,
these are the words of where stars return
and where reason abides,
just open up your eyes

reality is not what it seems,
these illusions run deep,
deep to the roots till death itself,
to the clasping of hands when knees have knelt,
to the buzz of the wasp, to the trees that fell,
can you see the screaming, can you hear the bells

through forest and sand,
the moons have fought here,
wisdom escapes the mothers and the fathers,
through liquid and flame,
through the seekers of time,
the call of the wild,
the will of the divine
