Having Had & Lost Some Infinite Thing

Just the other day I read
That god’s the sun and it’s such an awful shame
We never saw it until now
We never could look straight
Just the other day I read
That I’m the only person I truly think about
I never saw it until now
I never could look straight
I couldn’t see the space between
Where you stand and where you’ll be
We can divide the distance in two
My proximity can be halved to you
We can divide the distance in two
My proximity can be halved to you
What you see is intricate
It coils and it nests inside
We are just some passerbys
Some background filler indistinct
What you see is intricate
It coils and it nests inside
We are just some passerbys
Some background filler indistinct
I won’t suffer, no, not like he did
I won’t hang myself with another wish
But alone I sit atop my throne
With a kingdom the size of a skull
Such a lonely place to lay and wait
Forever mine and mine alone
I won’t suffer, no, not like he did
I won’t hang myself with another wish
