The Velvet Teen
No Star
Unbury your burden
Hold up your hatchet and make certain
It will be worth the unearthing

When you've tried your hardest
And seen your forest turn to sawdust
Keep pining for the harvest

And no darkness
Can keep you from my sight
No star
No light
To shine
It's obvious
I tell you I need no sign
This world is prepared for us
Don't you feel it's time?

Don't blame me, apollo
For how little light is left to borrow
Let our mourning awake the marrow

And tell me, artemis
If tonight isn't right, well, when is?
Shall we sell lumber till we perish?
No!
For no harness
Can keep you from my side
No star
No light
To shine
It's obvious
I tell you I need no sign
This world is prepared for us
Don't you feel its time?
