(un)knowing

Knowing's led to what I know It comes and then it goes Unknowing's what I've grown Arguments aside It's just a life Dusk gives way to night Then holds the light Felt a pain and let it last Let it grow with goodness and Future present, Future passed By the fields of cloud and bone Calcified, laid out like a home Phantom limb Phantom cornerstone Watch the way it shakes This knowing mind Do you build with higher stakes? Or let it lie? Felt a pain and let it last Let it grow with goodness and Future, present, Future, past. The slower motions of decay This human speed accelerates I dream of breathing, broken things I wake up on the verge of hearing Fields of clouds and angels ringing bells And stretching out their wings Oh, give me all your perfect things Your weightlessness and pure belief Oh God and Mary, Jesus Christ Won't bless me for my every vice I'll be redeemed in shame and grief In knowing I may not find peace I rub my eyes and hear my partner's breath Forget these lonely depths Forget the perfect and performed Just listen to this love unknown
