Querents Eidola

I talk to myself in my sleep
Lucid walk through the doorway
To watch her dance along the tapestries
Cascade dreams
But the man who dreamt the dreamer isn’t me

Manifest and create
Now everything I ever wanted lies behind the gate
Locked shut, and glistening with gold
I've yet to find a path that isn't coal

I’ve been waking up just to see the sun glisten
For the hierophant and fall away
I’ve waited my whole life and given up my selfish hands
That built this all, to hear you say you know my name

I give my mind to leave you with something
More than psalms and antiquated anecdotes
I give my body to the bedlam of this schema we call transition
To find the origin of our past transgressions

I’ve been waking up just to see the sun glisten
For the hierophant and fall away
I’ve waited my whole life and given up my selfish hands
That built this all, to hear you say you know my name
