lyrics

I was born from the mud
My mother was
My first director
When I saw her dance
I saw the creation of the world

Grazed by your traces
I felt you there
Gnawing at my bones,
Unravelling my spine
Like a string of pearls
Pages parted
Mid thought
 My eyes are open but I am not looking
My eyes are open but I am not looking

I carry water over blades
In your desert
It’s all I have
On a count of four
I turn where you left me
Useless compass

Too clever for blood in the sea
Unmoved by scent on the wind
No lure is sufficient
You evade me as I turn

My eyes are open but I am not looking
My eyes are open but I am not looking

So I build you a form
Your flags snap in the wind
Bleed my colours up high
Through this thin skin
Bleed out my fog and longing
Eyes open but not looking
As I dance the creation of the world
As I dance the creation of the world
