Black Glass
Ephemeral Flames and Seawater Echoes: Andrew Paul Davis's Black Glass
Lyrics
We let our candle burn
We allowed our light to diminish.
Now glass is going black
Now the transparent material is turning dark.
Our flame is waning fast
Our fire is decreasing rapidly.
The wax can’t be put back
The melted substance cannot be restored.
Drifting north in a flooded car
Traveling towards the northern direction in a flooded vehicle.
Until the north became the south
Until the north transforms into the south.
Expiration sans a date
Expiration without a specified date or time.
There is no window out
There's no way to escape or find a solution.
Spit out seawater
Forcing out seawater.
It’s seeping through the lawn
It's permeating into the ground.
Spit out seawater
Expelling seawater from within.
And go where you belong
And move towards where you truly belong.
You belong
You have a place where you fit.
You belong
Reiterating the sense of belonging.
We let our candle burn
We allowed our light to diminish.
Now glass is going black
Now the transparent material is turning dark.
Our flame is waning fast
Our fire is decreasing rapidly.
The wax can’t be put back
The melted substance cannot be restored.
Spit out seawater
Forcing out seawater.
It’s seeping through the lawn
It's permeating into the ground.
Spit out seawater
Expelling seawater from within.
And go where you belong
And move towards where you truly belong.
You belong
You have a place where you fit.
You belong
Reiterating the sense of belonging.
We let our candle burn
We allowed our light to diminish.
Now glass is going black
Now the transparent material is turning dark.
Our flame is waning fast
Our fire is decreasing rapidly.
The wax can’t be put back
The melted substance cannot be restored.
