[00:00.39][Intro]
[00:00.60]Eternity is not never-ending, ever-lasting
[00:04.44]It is in the stillness
[00:05.61]In walls, in fences in liminal spaces
[00:09.57]Traps, clocks, a tired engine
[00:12.99]Longing for rest against the watch
[00:16.02]A desperate soul pleas for a pause
[00:21.63]Remember when the virgin rock and the statues came to stop
[00:30.54]Stay under - go beneath
[00:32.28]Til sun will wet the frost
[00:34.62]And fog make fogginess for us
[00:36.96]Muddy the visions for our innocence
[00:40.08]Til the tide approach
[00:41.52]Clean the beach for new feet to print the sand
[00:44.28]And walk amongst the rock
[00:47.13]Long to test the clock with swords of light
[00:49.77]Great neon beams into the nothing
[00:52.89]Press the chest into the watch and test the stop
[00:56.94]I have seen nothing yet
[00:59.25]I have not
[01:00.48]But I have not lost all of my want
[01:03.72]I possess the curiousness
[01:05.91]Little fawn
[01:17.37]Leg caught on the traps
[01:18.93]Of secret and confessional paths
[01:24.15]Privy to darkened blackened thought
[01:26.25]Of other animals
[01:29.25]Long to test the traps
[01:30.84]Would little ankles snap
[01:32.88]Dialogues still cease to stop
[01:34.77]Come neon lights and burn the fog (from our vision)
[01:38.40]When the virgin rock
[01:40.38]The statues come to stop
[01:41.13]Eternity be
[01:50.01]Of an evening overseen
[01:52.89]On a moment in between or underwhelming
[01:57.21]I have misunderstood
[01:59.16]The ever-lasting experience
[02:09.81]Of girlkind and humanhood
[02:10.47]You have seen nothing yet
[02:15.21]Eternity is so much less than I had thought
[02:19.77]A long withstanding single moment
[02:22.26]An unacknowledged act
[02:24.42]A leg caught on the trap
[02:26.64]And would the ankle snap
[02:28.32]To free the snare from the fawn
[02:31.56]Or free the thought from the clock
[02:34.02]Come neon light and burn the frozen fog
[02:37.29]Lift the mist for our wisdom
[02:40.05]Preserve our innocence
[02:42.09]The visions cease to stop
[02:43.80]The will to want it never rocks
[02:46.80]When the virgin rock
[02:48.03]The statues come to stop
[02:57.66]It is not a profound concept
[02:59.73]More likely to be found
[03:02.10]in the falling down of hair
[03:04.26]The movement slow or fast through thickened air
[03:08.10]That we may see true the shapes
[03:10.17]And real the time the action takes
[03:12.66]For great movements to be made
[03:17.85]Longing for rest against the watch
[03:19.56]To test the traps
[03:20.34]We wait until the minute passes
[03:22.68]And surely it does as it always has done
[03:26.01]But this does not quieten our widening eyes -our broadening smiles
[03:33.12]Or put an end to our quest
[03:36.42]To unearth truth and bury lies
[03:39.78]Nor dampen the life inside of our heads
[03:42.87]Nor the need for the stopping of the passing of the moments
[03:49.14]Do not be afraid of silent places
[03:52.71]Do not wait for eternal gates to open
[03:55.17]Patience is outdated here
[04:00.06]The secrets of the ages tell all else
[04:09.18]But you have seen nothing yet
[04:16.32]It may be time soon to celebrate
[04:19.17]Our strandedness in the liminal space
[04:22.02]Put a word to each new object here
[04:24.45]And make a face to end all faces
[04:27.21]A face to face the questioning
[04:29.37]And a smile for the coming spring
[04:31.98]If spring is here what spring was before
[04:35.31]And a step into a new direction
[04:37.83]A look to stop the suffering
[04:40.44]Return the bullet to its owner
[04:42.69]Place the sword back in the stone
[04:45.60]It may be soon but may be quite long
[04:48.45](I cannot tell you) *BV
[04:49.86]All the signs I see point wrong
[04:55.20]We have seen nothing yet
[05:06.27]And you have not lost your spirit
[05:09.63]Think of the morning
[05:11.46]For what tomorrow will bring ya
[05:14.76]Think of the cities
[05:18.18]Think of the bricks and the walls
[05:21.24]The forty foot tall
[05:22.77]Think of the lake and the swans
[05:25.02]And the bread broken for our sins and our wishes
[05:28.20]Think back to the days
[05:30.30]Of nothing to do
[05:31.38]And too much to wish for
[05:32.40]Come neon lights
[05:35.58]And burn the fog
[05:36.93]Let the virgin rock
[05:38.40]And let the statues stop
[05:43.65]Let us go back and forth
[05:45.78]Between what was and what is
[05:50.07]We have not seen anything yet
[05:54.99]In Humankind and in Girlhood.
