Not really a "music video" or a "lyrics video" or a plain "official audio" video... this is just a way for people to listen to the first announced song, "Love Without Possession", and look at some smoke and clouds.
LYRICS:
What would be the use in becoming
a symbol of walking desolation?
Awash in multiple griefs,
elaborating on more anguish.
What glows beneath? (beneath all the pain and anguish)
Love that doesn’t die. (magma embroidering)
“Love”, a small word
unable to hold
while we stretch at its meaning.
Now this:
what’s this new version of love that intrudes
into the peace I thought I had?
This love has no recipient,
but still lies there smoldering.
Indifferent stars in the night sky
watch me while I churn,
still holding this love for you,
without a thing to do
but try to live
in this uninvited liberation
without a home in your life or heart,
without a shelter at all.
Exposed and burning still,
this unattended fire
for no one emanates a wasted warmth on the wind.
Pushing against the edges
of what it means to give.
Lost wisdom in the sparks that rise and die.
Even if I never get to see you again
I’ll know that when we collided
we both broke each other open.
Rose petals were blustering
and I’m determined still to hold this open door
even now as it devastates.
I wake up gasping in the void again.
Speak sky
blow breaths
exhale to dissipate
the always gathering clouds
of yearning memory
of all that we foresaw
laid out before us
unlived.
Dropped from a height
back into the open ocean, it’s all horizon.
This sky mirroring emptiness
is where I first found you.
