Wider Than the Sky

If I was only wise enough To know everything sure and true about myself, You would not be here. What have I brought you to, my love, that you have followed me? It is all my heart is worth And more than I would ask of you. But I was afraid of a world where you did not exist; An empty space I was not walking through. And you were there between myself And the darkened wings; You took the pieces of our lives And made us something new But now you don't see me trying You don’t see me trying You don’t see me trying Don’t see me trying, do you? So if you want to surrender, then I will too; Or if you want me to carry on, then I will do. And the night falls around us, Pressing us apart With the weight of silence - Such is my love for you. The heart of the matter, that the both of us can't hide, Beats on against us With the rhythm of the tide; And through this apathy, Wider than the sky, I'm feeling everything like nothing in my life. I'm feeling everything like nothing in my life Oh...

Take what you need Or all you can save; All that you ever wanted will burn in a blaze. Look not for the ending - The end is unmade; All you ever lived for will carry these days Far beyond the ties of time. Far beyond the ties of time The shrill streaks of morning ignite some closing loss And the silence speaks more human weight Than you've ever known; For words are like weapons That only will disclose your weakness. But all that was breaking, all All that was stone, Are as far beyond you as the stars; As far beyond them as you are. Whatever love will take apart Beyond these precious moments, These alone are undivided; And when the night holds weight, Pouring unfamiliar pain In black sheets of separation -

What, then, do I do to make you something When all I take from you is my own reflection? And when the day has all but forgotten me, How, then, do I hold you with my blunted hands? I have made an end; take me home again And I'll leave my shoes at your door. Show me another room, somewhere I can call my own; And though you have built a wall around you, I am standing on the inside. I am standing on the inside I am standing on the inside, on the inside Now here I face the long-fading road again And the familiar fall of my old shadows, But if I'm to show you Something, anything that's true, I can draw from only what I know; And I'm starting on the inside. I’m starting on the inside I’m starting on the inside, on the inside, on the inside There’s not life enough under the in-between There’s not life enough under the in-between

There is a swelling shadow, formlessly Moving behind my lover's light; Self-sustaining, feeding of itself, Its ever-changing shape I cannot bear to see. Moving stills of sound and light are spilling through The projector of my mind; playing like the first time, I am no less unprepared; And a darkness undresses me of everything. Don't bend my eyes to that horizon - Rather let me fill with meaning every corner of the sky; Eyes which may be born of believing I could not be needed so much by anyone. The picture whole is seldom seen And far less understood. I'll see only fragmentary parts And fill the spaces as the dark deems right. Turn me away from that horizon - There is no too great a distance I will not stretch my eyes - Before the shadow is perfected By the last time; And the last time.

That I would save for you so much life. That I would save for you so much life We stood above the pouring sound - They should have seen us - And ran toward tomorrow gaping open like a shell Did I say to you, or did I try, How everything was beating like a sea inside? I felt it over brimming and flood the ground between us; And beneath the weight of everything I let it all come down. Striving to bind our bodies by every snarl of time we could unwind; Losing all their loneliness and making meaning In the vast experience that buried us alive. Feeling for the first time Breaking waves of silence. Feeling for the last time I am, I am. And I could feel me unraveling the foaming fury of love. And who would weather those hammering fists of rain, Such as lay claim on you? You...

Marazion, how long can I live with nothing While there you keep a part of me? There you keep a part of me Tonight the space between us is wide as any distance, And I could not be close enough If I could just be strong enough, But I don't want to face it. Marazion, keep holding on to the better part of me; Hold on to that part of me. The western winds are blowing back the memories - Before the darkness broke in me And began unraveling. And I don't want to name it, But the pain that I never rise above, I thought it the measure of my love, But I've loved you more than that. I’ve loved you more than that I have loved you more than that.
