thanks for all of the kind words about the song on the comp, here are the lyrics in case you were wondering:
i’m awake. in the loosest sense of the word, i’m awake (with just a hint of dust coating my lungs). what is this place? how could we get so lost?
inch by inch, the cell reveals and here we lie: arms bent inward, legs a ‘v,’ halos high. phosphor light marks the ground. a way out means there’s one in and, right now, i see neither of the two.
today we found its knees, its horizon spanning breadth, its near infinite reach. the compass needle spins.
we’ll use the stars to guide and tonight, polaris by our side, our course will be assured. but the longer it takes to leave, the harder it'll be.
i am. i am, because you needed me to breathe - like bellows to a flame - and that’s comforting to know, but the longer it takes to leave, the harder it’ll be.
