Burning Light

from A Body In The Brush by Plasticstatic

/

lyrics

Hours are excercise
for the will to stay alive;
from the countless ticking of the hands,
to the falling granules of the sand.
All the while, uncertainty
of what could bring some joy to me
keeps me frozen in my place
with the same dead look upon my face.
The books, the films, the sounds, the sights
used to fill me with delight.
Imagination knew no end;
now boredom weighs me down again.
Someone deceased that I once read
wrote "There's something to be said
for being dead", but I don't know.
If the dead could speak, would he still say so?

I wish a force would tear the sky,
and drown the earth in burning light.
I need to know what lies beyond
the earth, the cup, the sword, the wand.
I wish a force would tear the sky,
and penetrate my covered eyes
with blinding, piercing, burning light,
and gift me with the truest sight.

Knowledge is more powerful than money.
Knowledge is more valuable than power.
Knowledge is the key to unlock all this and more,
though it can change the taste from sweet to sour.
