Obstinate Pace Lyrics

As this giant stands upon me
I grind my teeth and inhale deep
Looking down I keep my pace
Looking up I see no suns
My will claims to be fed like a fire

Thoughts are blades on a frozen lake
I let them glide out of me
Like a messenger of nothing
With a spider behind my ear
With Sycamore branches in my hands
With old silence in my heart

I'm the path itself
I'm the soil that I tread on

What is real a this time
Is the ice in my lungs
And the noise of my own steps
Echoing the solitude that eats me up
One bite per tear

Heading to myself
Feels like a skull chopped off a body
Rolling down a crevasse
Falling for a lifetime

There will be a day to wake up again
I bow to that

Fire is power
Power is silence
SIlence is fire
And so it be.
