thoushaltnot - cardinal directions lyrics
i split the atom of one second
choosing history’s lathe
each word summons now the next
a master to his slave
countless links
within some silent chain
and time becomes the sediment that drifts to algae
divorced from comets’ trains
in the east, a reflection
of the western sunset
north, south, pole to pole
turn back in regret
and to the east i might stumble
to the west i would crawl
and if north is the winter
then south is the fall
and if i had my way, i’d make the clock rewind
i’d live again that moment, though i know i’ll never find
the future that i missed, a parallel line
where the world would be so bright that it could make us all go blind
and if i had my day, there’s so much i’d reclaim
the sanct-ty of motion, the neverending rain
the cardinal directions, all pointing to the past
where realities converge, and for a moment, we’re the same
and magnets spin the comp-ss
in an embryonic flame
somewhere is the promise
of an uncharted trail
with seven hundred branching limbs
and seven hundred ways to fail
to the east, a reflection
of the new moon in the west
her timeless watch is quiet
over tides of her unrest
to the north is the current
of a man breathing out
giving birth to the breeze
to be inhaled in the south
and if i had my way, i’d make the clock rewind
i’d live again that moment, though i know i’ll never find
the future that i missed, a parallel line
where the world would be so bright that it could make us all go blind
and if i had my day, there’s so much i’d reclaim
the sanct-ty of motion, the neverending rain
the cardinal directions, all pointing to the past
where realities converge, and for a moment, we’re the same
same as always
same as always
and if i had my way, i’d make the clock rewind
i’d live again that moment, though i know i’ll never find
the future that i missed, a parallel line
where the world would be so bright that it could make us all go blind
and if i had my day, there’s so much i’d reclaim
the sanct-ty of motion, the neverending rain
the cardinal directions, all pointing to the past
where realities converge, and for a moment, we’re the same
