After One Quarter Of A Revolution

After One Quarter Of A Revolution - Every Time I Die

Cleaned up a mess I'm in now I am born again

Naked spotless motion without strings

I've flushed the filth to the sea the limbs and sharp debris

But if that water rises woe is me

Hearts aren't beating they're counting down

Breaths aren't stolen they're groomed and given out

The closet is teeming with broken bones

I'll be driven out and swallowed whole

I walk a crooked mile with the devil on my back

Puppeteering schemes with every step

But I once could walk through walls and drift above it all

Pursing endless love to endless depths

Hearts aren't beating they're counting down

Breathes aren't stolen they're groomed and given out

The closet is teeming with broken bones

I'll be driven out and swallowed whole

Object all you want but I am not done with you

Lives will be lost children will grieve

Entire nations will crumble and blood will run deep

But we will be redeemed

You and I will be weightless we'll stay unborn

So death can't start the clock

And love can sleep through our pores
