about

This is for my cousin, dead to the world, shapeless and formless. Love you.

lyrics

III - Family Graveyard

Where are the stars tonight?
They’re far, far away. I cannot see the light.
Oh, nothing will grow.
In the deep, deep places where the light won’t go.

And I’ve been dipping my toes into the darkness.
Close my eyes. Pretend that I’m somewhere I’m not.

I followed you.
I had lost my way. You seemed to know what to do.
But I lay on the family grave
Yesterday. If it can be called yesterday.

And they said, ‘We will never get out, we will die in the darkness.
Close your eyes. Pretend that you’re somewhere you’re not.’

And I watched the last bit of light drop down into darkness.
Close my eyes. Pretend that I’m somewhere I’m not.

Where is our god tonight?
He’s far, far away. He left us behind.
