Magic 8 Ball

[00:08.38] Christmas Eve, blistered feet
[00:11.58] Weight on my hard shoulders
[00:13.16] Walking on the side of a foreign motorway
[00:16.23] Greeted with signs saying, closed again
[00:18.83] Thinking, if he knows my pain, where'd He go?
[00:21.94] It takes time to repair the toes of feet
[00:24.47] Walked in faith too small for too long
[00:27.35] Low battery mode, torchlight glows on roadkill
[00:31.79] As I lemon squeeze the blurry dreams, I'm owed still
[00:35.98] And in my negotiations with life
[00:37.83] I always add on extra for virtues like oat milk
[00:42.36] I'm alone still, rattling at the grief and a locked gate
[00:46.50] Thunder crashes like a dropped plate
[00:49.27] Hands become ghosts in front of my blotched face, it must have got late
[00:53.58] So, I stop straight and realise I can't go the back the way that I came
[00:58.41] And my oat cracker crumbs disappeared in the wind
[01:01.47] And everything I know is gone
[01:03.60] And my childish sobs become holy songs
[01:06.76] Caught inside a choir of tears, as the electric storm's fire appears
[01:12.14] Falling on high from light years away
[01:14.85] I hide away but still he sees me
[01:17.67] Still, he sees me and greets me into great halls with marble floors
[01:22.67] As I'm wading in mirrors of rainfall
[01:25.04] And shaking God like a magic 8 ball, yeah
[01:28.47] Only to find he was never in there at all, yeah
[01:34.87] Heaven resides in the last place I'd look
[01:38.38] The last place I'd deem worthy
[01:39.83] The last place I'd ever love
[01:43.33] The temple is torn, the captive is free
[01:46.78] I find refuge in he who finds home in me
[01:50.94]
[02:04.76] Something in the starry black
[02:08.12] Arrests me like cardiac
[02:11.77] The flood ruined the wallpaper
[02:15.13] But underneath were artefacts, all along
[02:19.06] Guess I must've fallen wrong
[02:21.70] I'm everything I love and fear, all in one
[02:26.57] What should I focus on
[02:29.03] When everything I know is gone? (Everything I know is gone)
[02:33.66] Drowning in the Icelandic
[02:36.76] Your clone, except I'm right-handed (everything I know is gone)
[02:40.31] I still remember when dad told me
[02:44.09] The meteor in the sky landed
[02:47.73] I never got to say goodbye
[02:51.32] A by-product of by standing
[02:55.17] I just hope you find family
[02:58.82] I just hope your flight landed
[03:00.43]
