Hundred Waters - Gather lyrics
rate meThis started out as some things do
One wispy wire,
one thin, lone shoot
and it spread ahead before me
and where I used to run, it outran me
Many buzzing fights we all contain
many many veined and cellophane
we are twisted from fibers, wound to thread
and we will wind ourselves til we're dead
That black boil weighs like a pit of ink
and it sits in many chests,
where it sags and sinks
I know it well, it knows me
but it has known many more before me
From our tissues and from our strands
Sits a figure with outstretched hands
Saying we can sit solitary
We can crouch in sanctuary
Or we can gather
Our threads into rope
and pull
