Without Story or Illusion

by The Hello Stranger

lyrics

On my 27th day the bells had tolled
The bats cried out from underneath the island
Water stopped running
Fire burn building
Electric lights gave out

Sleep
Sleep for 1000 years
There are no longer enough answers

The bats had gone silent
And my sweat had stopped
I coughed up rain from 3 days ago
And plunged into the ground
With a light in my hand
And a couple of broken pencils

What is it like to know one's name?
May we offend for new sensations?
Honor ruins without new forests?

I sat in a reflective pool
Caked with mud and history
Tracing my brow
Tracing my forehead
I saw serious companions
Turn crooked and corrupt
And out of fear
I turned to even sharper things

Without story or illusion
The spirit sits caressed
The body becomes silent
