Letra:

Not a word i could say
Not a breath i could take
I can't even compete
Always knew
It would never get through
Since i was barely sixteen

But i'm trying
Still i'm trying

Ive been wandering my way through these worlds
And asking you what you see
Everyone i can trust just tells me
I should take it easy

I end up crying
End up crying

Please don't tell me
That you know the
Endless rhythm of everything
I was forged in
Greater storms than
Anything i can throw at me

Then a push meets a shove
From so high up above
And i fall at your feet
Patch me up
From the weight of a love
That i can nеver complete

'causе we're dying
Slowly dying

Then i fall once again
But i don't call a friend
I can do it myself
Take the shadows of worlds
That had never unfurled
Off of the high shelf

It's an anatomy of a hierarchy
Of a place that had no space for me
It's an anatomy of a hierarchy
Of "i will carry your sins no further past here"

There's a clockmaker
There's a warm place
Everything is a melody
Lost when i don't hear the tempo
Stumbling round on my two left feet but
I was forged in
Greater storms than
Anything i can throw at me
I will dance in these
Changing tides till the
Ocean dances right back with me

There's a metronome
There's a warm place
Everything is a melody
Lost when i can't see the clock face
Hidden metal stripes mark our fate but
I was forged in
Greater storms than
Anything i can throw at me
I will dance in these
Changing times till the
Universe learns to sing with me

Artist commentary for the gap:

horizon ✑ (YouTube description)

"There must be blood, the girl thought. There must always be blood. The Green Wind said that, so it must be true. It will all be hard and bloody, but there will be wonders, too, or else why bring me here at all? And it’s the wonders I’m after, even if I have to bleed for them."

-- from The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, a novel in a series by Catherynne M. Valente

months in the making, i have finally created something i am happy to share -- something that feels like it's saying what i want to say. it's struggling to raise its voice but doing so anyway.

the quote above is from my absolute favorite author in the world, and there's a vague reference to the novel quoted at the end of this song. if you're feeling lost in this big, terrifying world, i highly recommend her writing. i would never have made it this far without the worlds she's created, and whatever comes of this is thanks to you, her, and so many other wonderful, creative people.

that being said, the dedication here lies elsewhere -- in the name. or lack thereof? but that means it's for you anyway. so enjoy :)

(also the person speaking at the end is tripp i stole it from a dnd recording shhhhh don't tell him)
