lyrics

Boundless fog
But it is our fog
And this is our circle
Abstracted from meaning

This little joy
Sparked from a kindle
Has been dowsed for hours
To the point of depleting

It may be only fog
But there is light here
After all

My little heart
It is a kind heart
Deployed in a shackle
Of idle and matter

But my love
It is a fierce love
Whitewashed the fog love
And blind ever after

After the flash
When the whiteness takes hold
Two shots in the clear
And the body takes form
Where we hold pose
Merry and Bold
Where we hold Pose
Merry and Bold

What is blind
In the infinite skyline
With an absence of feeling
Bounded by the haze

Despair kind heart
And see through the blindness
The circle is broken
But the lines still remain

And if this pure
Let it meet me
Truly pure

When the lines are broke
Let’s lay down together
In the absence of splendor
Where the flesh it gives in

This little joy
Sparked from a kindle
Sees itself as wildfire
Always contained

After the flash
When the redness takes hold
Two shots in the clear
And the body takes form
Where we hold pose
Merry and Bold
Where we hold Pose
Merry and Bold
