lyrics

Tantalus King, always on duty
Loves to feel the light refracting around him
I repent:
My geographical lineage is shattered
Like a crab in the desert

The boy hurls Jupiter into the Squamish river
S(o/u)ns of different spelling build a fire on her bed
IntoRhythm is the lunar mantra
The Queen is lit by the cycle

There’s a rattling shimmer missing everywhere else
Something collectors envy
And we are lighter when we think of silence as a product
Maybe navigation is a hoax or something
Directions seem to be losing value
Leave from everywhere
Still arrive late
