The Night Watcher Lyrics

[00:00.12] Long time
[00:03.32] Long time
[00:06.26]
[00:35.45] This is how I come to you
[00:37.48] Through the birth and the death and the life of you
[00:40.04] To the me that I am that I was before you remembered me
[00:43.18] Two times up and around and again
[00:44.54] And then when you forgot to remember me
[00:47.34] How we were supposed to be
[00:50.19] The we that we are supposed to be
[00:52.19] And how it all came to be
[00:53.35] From the sea to the shore to lost memory
[00:57.34] Absentee intellect, amputee dialect, abjectee refugee
[01:01.81] Come to me
[01:05.63] Know the theosophy of supremacy
[01:09.26] Entity of man's heredity
[01:11.25] Epistemology of a philosophy
[01:13.35] The most certain conscience is the content of the mind
[01:16.40] Is a recognizance of an absolutism undefined
[01:19.76] Gorgias knew this
[01:21.00] Nothing exists or can be known, now or otherwise
[01:24.39] No lie you define becomes the foundation of experience
[01:27.66] No I you defy becomes the foundation of solipsism
[01:30.78] The I that I, that I am, becomes your pro-sociality
[01:34.47] Live resplendently in intersexuality
[01:36.92] Regrettably we forgot what we were supposed to know
[01:39.62] Perceptively, the what, the where, the how
[01:42.57] Long before this here and now
[01:45.26] The who, the why, the we
[01:49.94]
[01:52.94] Come with me
[01:58.73]
[02:42.46] Come with me
[02:44.11] To a cipher tree standing alone
[02:45.86] That bone dust grown thrown to the bloodstone
[02:49.08] That capstone cheekbone own serving that francophone
[02:51.56] That colonial peptone of an unknown ozone layer
[02:54.35] Separating you from then, then from now
[02:55.93] How you stand alone in a free zone
[02:57.84] That you call a safe zone of your own making
[02:59.60] Taking Frozone, pilone, quinone
[03:01.98] Johnstone, throne, graystone, pardon your enthrones
[03:05.04] You are not alone
[03:08.69] So come with me
[03:11.63] To a cipher tree
[03:15.18] A midnight sun
[03:18.11] Where most men hang alone in the ghostbeam air
[03:20.36] And dare be themselves
[03:22.75] Tempered by freeform light
[03:24.46] We might just fight this peninsula
[03:27.32] We might just deepside on the island side of this clothed fog
[03:31.85] With a swift falling darkness
[03:34.03] Capsule of the sea and all that makes you and me spirits
[03:41.32] And we might just try to find the lie of the truth
[03:46.84] In a trembling place of a soft space
[03:54.30] Come with me
[04:02.90] Come with me
[04:05.60]
[04:09.41] Come with me
[04:12.19]
[04:15.82] Long time
[04:19.30]
[04:21.33] Come with me
[04:23.59] Come with me
[07:51.63]
