Lyrics

I came into this world
with the murky eyes of an ink black sky

In that darkness lives the breath before every dawn
every rising tide

My gaze stretched no shields nor shame
wilder edges called my name
fingers extended


Whole in pieces I was met
unclipped wings untravelled yet
deep shadows befriended

In my starry wake
a vast unending sea
a universe as great as any seed

Raindrop by raindrop and millions of years
salt-water womb
an altar of tears to soothe my severance

No separation
I used to be cosmic salvation
in stars I could see all that I am
pure reverence

In my starry wake
a vast unending sea
a universe as great as any seed

And I’m carried out now on this starless night
and I’m falling out of time

I came into this world from dark and light

Step out of my skin again
slip into black water

Home in an ink black sky
