Go no farther
Until you have seen my face
Use these techniques
That seem to defy nature
Alive in your luminosity
Magellanic Cloud cover me
I am no longer deceived
By that which has been held
Against me and I know that I've
Felt your shape in the scintillating sky
A dragon
Cleft the sky, and left glitter behind
Melt in the dark of my mind
The sadness
Of a blossom when it realized
The branch could no longer bear its life
Can you feel me?
Leave not-
Until you have seen my face!
Alive in your luminosity
Magellanic Cloud cover me
I am no longer deceived
By that which has been held
Against me and I know that I've
Seen your shape in the sadness of the sky
I saw an empty cloud heave
An endless roll
And arc its weight while it
Sobbed cross the desert
But I wish it were me
A dragon cleft the sky, and left glitter behind
Melt in the dark of my mind
The sadness of a blossom when it realized
The branch could no longer bear its life
Can you feel me?
(I felt your shape in the…)
You found that creature who came from the sun
And you taught him that he was not the only one
And there was something I could not bear
When I saw myself in that cold and molten stare
Though he broke your bones, and he bore his teeth,
There’s a love that’s still burning, and rising- free
You found that creature who came from the sun
And you taught him that he was not the only one
I saw an empty cloud heave
The softest weight
Now tell me where you’re from
My Andromeda Soup Dumpling
Now tell me where you’re from
My Andromeda Soup Dumpling
And I will follow you there
My Andromeda soul-
My Andromeda Soup Dumpling
Now tell me where you’re from
My Andromeda Soup Dumpling

I floated through life, called by the light that I could not find-
Till the scythe of the weeping moon cut through the desperate blue
And cast my heart into its night
I am the massive spirit that moves
Over the earth, through ancient loom
My rainbow sound is heard for miles
My tears are the sea, the sacred water I breathe
My bones adorn the depths when I die
Float through a desert of nothing
To wander away from the ocean’s melancholy
But there is a wave of death shifting towards me
The reefs wane and bleed
Tonight I will dive into the silken, sapphire sky
Till my tears become a monsoon
My wail will thunder through wool clouds down to human kind
How strange it seems, the blood has stopped rushing,
even though no pressure has been applied
Never mind the sea, even though it comes for me
Until you realize you are the sky
But I dream of her all the time
She beached herself in her pain
And died
So no one can deny my fate!
I will escape the death of this pallid world they’ve destroyed
I will shine my light, through a century’s worth of my hunger
And they will never know what they have done
Now! I fly!
My heart is reborn
Till I bore the air like a sword,
To them it was warned that I would not soar
But I do
How strange it seemed that the blood has stopped rushing,
Away

I saw an empty cloud
Heave an endless roll
And arc its weight
While it sobbed across the water
I wish it were me:
The one who vanishes silently
After there, bunching itself into the corner of the sky
Dying to find a freedom
Greater than itself
But I cannot carry on
On my own
And I do

There are some spirits behind me now
And I can tell they are all on my sound
The bear and the whale and the hummingbird
My soul is lightning and thunder

We left home, drove
To the sound wave soaked sandstone
Striking from the east, I melted in my slanted seat
The mountainside sang lachrymosely
While the white molting meadow mirrored
The hemming and hawing in me
Cried to find the courage in me
While it rained in my heart, the clouds hung low
Rolling brush beyond the red rocks groaned
Saying, “You are no longer asleep! No rest until the rest are free”
Convicted by what is now known
Centered, alive, our hearts overflow
Now all they can see
Is the sound of our fire
Ripping and sawing
Through a dream
Inward to the golden sun
And you become the rarest love
In your position
Do you remember us?
Let go, let go!
Like water, a formless one
Blessed from seeing unicorns, and our fire!
We haven’t given up on our fight
We surface with the strength of I and I
We know someone has been lying
And now we’re looking for the signs
We are the fire and the flame,
We are the water and the wave that breaks -
Forevermore
And though we die,
We’ll always rise with terrifying force
Now we prepare to fight a war we’ve already won
We know who we are
It was over before it ever begun
And we never fear death
Because we go on and on and on
We feel it in this endless moment
Inward to the golden sun
Now, our fire has gone
Like water a formless one
Our presence is unknown
So let go, let go!
And soon they’ll feel the fire
Now let’s get going to fight
Now we’re looking for the signs
We are the fire and the flame,
We are the water and the wave that breaks -
Forevermore
And though we die,
We’ll always rise with terrifying force
Now we prepare to fight a war we’ve already won
We know who we are
It was over before it ever begun
And we never fear death
Because we go on and on and on
We feel it in this endless moment
So catch a soul fire
Watch us on fire!
Watch us all catch a soul fire
