Eternal Water Lark

from Water Lark [EP] by Cepheid Flux

lyrics

tonight you dream of the death of horses,
of a burial ground deep in the mountains.

tonight your feet are heavy with dreammiles
and you can almost hear a voice on the wind.

in space, eternity collapses without a sound.
if i called out your name, in silence, would you still exist?
a thought fluttering towards the black dome,
formless as desire, searching for containment:

a hand here on skin, bodies moving among bodies,
mouth searching for soul, soul searching for-
but wait, it is still too early to explain.
time has not touched you yet, where you are,
where i imagine you to be.

for now, i will send you the smell of olive leaves on the wind,
of white linens baking on clay streets.
i send you sea mist with the memory of christ’s hands,
the paradox of the north, the constellations further than the sky.

tonight, i shout your existence into the void,
and wait, for the deaf signal, for the dead light of stars
to drift you back through the crumpled waves of time
to me.

about

Cepheid Flux Montréal, Québec

My music is like a teenage girl's diary. Sloppy penmanship, impulsive emotional musings, and hearts drawn around glued-in magazine cutouts of Justin Timberlake. Every original electronica composition here was conceived and completed in single sittings of 5-8 hours.After all, you certainly wouldn't go back and edit your diary entries from that summer back in '94.... That'd just be absurd. ... more
