“What can I do with my happiness? How can I keep it, conceal it, bury it where I may never lose it? I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again.”
~ Anais Nin
lyrics
Why’s it have to be so difficult to be inside a single memory?
When you breathed it last, slipped further into past, quicksliverin’ through your Needing’s gasp.
I’m done of that.
Got my backpack packed with each smell, sound, sight of treasure. And inscribed right here, scartrails of each shed tear
that recall me to Togethered.
Now, I can’t forget this,
the way it spiders in the dark with its threads into my heart.
Oh, I can’t forget this,
the way spirals ‘round in kin when it seals me in my skin.
Oh, I can’t forget this,
the place it anchors what I know leaving breadcrumbs back to soul.
Oh, I won’t forget this…
Perhaps it is the way that memories like this ache
reinjure the place they made?
Or the truth inside their sound? The one you can’t run around,
“You are Loved, dust, bones, and ground. You are found.”
I’m ready for, a torrent more if it means I’ll feel like this.
When I close my eyes, reconnect the wires to throb inside this bliss.
Augmeanted invites listeners closer to the transcendent power of living music with their distinctive classical rock vibe, crafting tales & tunes cut free by saw waves of their sound.
