lyrics

After all this circling around we found ourselves stuck in a figure 8
The trap was set, but it was set without bait
We were fast out the gate, but now we’re running, running late
Docile! We’ve become zoo lions lying in wait

Nothing, my love, is as finite as age
And every single day, a decision we delayed
The mindless games we played, while the waves would crash and break
Lover I’m ruined – an animal wounded – a tide come and gone away

Now the best we’ll become is a remote footnote in an unending manuscript
A trivial piece of an infinite aggregate
We vacillate as the merry-go-round of choices oscillates
Neutered! We’ve become zoo lions lying in wait

Sadly, my love, we’ll leave nothing behind
The seeds forever entombed beneath the rind
An empty field reminder, of passed time, past prime
The cicada song – all along – Each sound distinct yet entwined

Analemma, the prodigal son
Analemma, the lonely one


After all this circling around we found ourselves stuck in a figure 8
