The Human Abstract
"Polaris"

I'm not ashamed to say I take pleasure in burning all of my epitaphs
Turning the sands of time into glass

Push through here and beyond
Endure every trial, breaking in from the outside
Back to the struggle to then find strength in a starting over
I vowed not to spend my life comforted by enclosure

Better to cry out in pain than be uninvolved
Silent and lame to the life that beckons us

Sirens calling me over the hills and trails
There to wander so restlessly, bold and tireless
Seeking to broaden the lines dividing identity

Push through here and beyond
Endure every trial, breaking in from the outside
Back to the struggle to then find strength in a starting over
I vowed not to spend my life comforted by enclosure

Better to cry out in pain than be uninvolved
Silent and lame to the life that beckons us

The task at hand
To unleash the bondage
Of endless lives, pressures, actions, questions
Answers giving birth to questions
Unfolding like the petals of a lotus
Eternal longing until we die no more

Because you never hold on to the spoils you've won
All your triumphs in vain if you can't embrace a change
All the paths I've been down, I still have never found
Something lasting through the years
But all these worthless fears that mean nothing
Compare your life, your loves
To the vastness of the endless stars above
