Eratosthenes 03:51
Sitting on a rooftop, soaking in the sky Douse my face in moonlight and interstellar sighs He measured the circumference with shadows and a stick He sent an emissary to walk the distances If the Kingdom is inside of you, is too a place? Can you enter in an instant, or do you have to wait? A watch that's running slowly, that doesn't tell the time Would drive some people crazy, while others wouldn't mind Wrap him in a blanket. He's going into shock Try to reassure him. Try to make him talk Elevate the ankles. Let the wonder flow Ignorance is bliss, though, it's something he should know If the Kingdom is inside of you, could you enter now? Do you have to have a passport? Would you be allowed? A watch that's running slowly, that doesn't tell the time Would drive some people crazy, while others wouldn't mind

Eclipsed 04:10
At night I missed you the most The setting sun pulling me We'd park the car on the coastline and listen to the melodies Where was the sense of relief? Where the gain through the loss? Destitute in my grief Too high a price, too high a cost for love Eclipsed by doubt I'm digging out of all the misery We worked so hard and got so far Some things are never meant to be Damn untruths and the lies The darkest road you led me to Fickle minds like the tides I didn't know quite what to do A world ice-cold to the bone Seemed everything was frozen through I felt completely alone Where could I turn if I couldn't turn to you? Eclipsed by doubt I'm digging out of all the misery We worked so hard and got so far Some things are never meant to be

Rain falls and scatters the ocean Fingers cold tapping on glass Streetlight, I've lived a full life and everything must pass All my friends went before me Do they await me in Glory? Calling me home where fear and pain don't follow I miss my dad Will I see him tomorrow? Calling me home Flood stage swimming in memories Rising rills lap at the walls Currents tugging they take me but I don't fight at all River hushing the morning Sunrise tepidly glowing Calling me home Calling me home Calling me home I feel the darkness fading Family and friends Smiling and waving
