The Crane Wives
Arcturus Beaming
[Verse 1]
I thank these walls
My hideaway
My sanctuary to worship the pain
I never thought I'd leave the cave
But I'm more curious than afraid

[Verse 2]
Stacking layers
Like sediments
Each one adding weight and compression
And I'm tired of forming the cliff-face
Inside of my chest now
My ribs ache from carrying it around

[Verse 3]
Craning my neck
I'm looking up
I'm grieving all that I gave up
Eyes focused on
A pin of light
Arcturus beaming on a summer night

[Bridge]
Do you wonder
Who's looking back
Another lifeform on some undiscovered planet
A myriad of us here, but they're pointing up at our sun and
Asking thеmselves what exists bеyond
Beyond, beyond, beyond
[Verse 4]
These blinding nights
This reckoning
There's more to life
Than suffering
But there's still time
It's not too late
Nothing will change until I change
