IV. Mount Eerie

"Your legs walked your heart high Your whole body is sprawling out Major view wide" I'm on a boulder over alpine tops On peaking, I watched you cross the water (I watched you from above) Into my eye, your grays and blues were blonde Something I held onto is leaving The shape to what I saw has slowly died You're higher on your hill So your big black cloud will come So your big black cloud will come And press you to the ground The air will leave your chest You'll fade from where you're found When you find you're standing still And your fingers all go numb Get higher on your hill So your big black cloud will come So your big black cloud will come And press you to the ground The air will leave your chest You'll fade from where you're found When you find you're standing still And your fingers all go numb Get higher on your hill So your big black cloud will come So your big black cloud will come See what happens? Do you see what happens? When the big black death Breathes on you with its breath? I'm wild and wooly Bloating bully I'll strike you down and then I'll strike you down again Do you see what happens? Do you see what happens? When I peel away your bark And stain your blue sky dark? Your breath I take to live Your death I ache to give So take it to the end and crumble Be smothered in my rumble A flash! And thunder booms! Our lack of wonder blooms I'll press you to the ground You'll fade from where you're found The way they share (The flesh we tear, so innocent of memory) They feast, we invite each bite Into our flight Since we give our blood now into you And feathers from skin begin I am the twilight upon the porch And he follows you I am the candle falling Your hands gripping the tablecloth Your eyes, only three years old The way they share The memory you did wear And now your song is inside them
