Lyrics Second Sight - Howling Sycamore

Second Sight

Waves paint and flood my days
Resembling that cyclic motion I can’t run from
Heading towards me
The dreadnaught wheel is taking speed
Its noise is a long nail through my ears
The bedlam that thoughts make when obsession takes over
Breathing suddenly feels like crawling in the mud
I cannot help but stare at the dark veil of time passing by
Retracing my steps of the bitter taste of yarrow
But holding its leaf against the eye will give a second sight
The minds opens to ancient landscapes I recognize
Peeking down from the cliff
I salute golden eagle flying below
May it bring the message I’m waiting for
Silence but not isolation
Silence as a humming presence
Connecting souls as Redwood roots
Lost teachings are what nightmares are made of
I seek for them in the darkest corners of my being
I’ll forge them in fire like blades
I’ll press them on my skin
I’ll write my new name with those marks
To forgive and walk away (To forgive and walk away)
