Universe (3)

see me look unveiled when i walk out of the canyon
and see me start to climb at the end of day

but whose there to see me walk out?
theres no beacon, no sun to block out
no bird ablaze
a close dark voice says,
"do you really think there's anybody out there?"

uh hm... uh uh....

so what?
no one sees me
what do i care now the black night has seized me
on a mountains mane
i climb to my claim

and i am aimless, alone, and unraveling
and above barren wastelands stare at me
they know my name

"what do you want?"

and i know i'll be in the air
and that my trail passes lion's lairs
and i see summets buried in more air
buried in space

safe, now there's no end in sight

how many times have i learned this before
how many times have i made up this song before?
how many times have i died up here before?

and ohhhh
how hidden tomorrow morning is
what heavy fog
what wide shadows

universe i know you
