Michael McGuire - Disasters In The Sun lyrics

rate me

My mind goes blank and my body goes numb, reconciling disasters in

the sun, what it means to be human; to have a soul, to admit defeat

to relinquish control, I study the afflatus of memories, to divine the

joint where time turns into me, to turn my emptiness into something I

can feel, to find one god damn thing that makes me real.

I’ve done my very best for goodness sakes, I’m not trying to opt out

of my mistakes, I will smoke all of my deeds in the fire of my art,

stock all ambitions with the hurt in my heart, I remain a stranger in a

familiar’s land, just a servant of the little I understand, I wanna slake

the thirst of my pride, but I cant divorce this apathy I took for bride.

The cosmology of my psychology, scripted and ordained in my

physiology, placates my vision with the surrogate of sight, where I can

cull neither heat nor light, with all I’ve endured and all that will be, I

can barely even remember me, divining a life from this clock paced

routine, and this dumb dictionary cant tell me what it might mean.

From the corners of the cosmos to the meat of my mind, the

intangible ghost of god to the heap of humankind, I wander in body

and wonder in thought, unlearn the petty dogmas that I have been

taught, see the face of what’s real in things yet undone, forgive

disasters in the sun, know the future from it’s sanction of waste, and

the now is eternally chaste.

All dreamers will disappear into their darkest dreams, as the planets

plot the clock of their unmanned schemes, a stoic scarecrow for the

progeny of my pain, I will teach and preach the gospel of the rain,

and so my children I come to you in naked soul, to bare the scar and

star of the shattered whole, shadow is proof the light feels no shame,

all is just feed and seed for this godless game.<br />
