My Phantom Limb

Lyrics

(And now) I see your face in the mirror
 (While dissolving) my secret brother, now uncovered
 While dissolving into me
 I am breathing into you
 Now, I'm in you, now, I'm injured
 Now, I'm healing, now, I'm clean
 Your voice sings inside my mind
 Your tongue tastes points in time
 We're threading tiny lights across the dome of the sky
 We ride a single, endlessly unfurling line
 Your love is deep in my bones
 Now, they're breaking, now, they're shattered
 Do their fragments on the floor
 Spell out our future, waiting to be told?
 With rough hands and tender breast
 White hair and tattooed vest
 Now, you're reaching, ever seeking
 Ever watching your mind unwind
 You hide beneath my bed
 You sing inside my head
 Hold my hand, be still now
 If there's cancer in your blood
 It works its way through me too
 We're all the same, uncontained
 Boiling flesh, unspoken names
 Dissolving, contorting
 Reforming, distorting
 I see your voice in my mind and I'm singing
 It works its way through my veins
 And my hands reach up to the sky
 And they're burning as they're circling
 I'm your vessel, I am creaming
 I'm the avatar of your semen and I'm screaming
 Each of us is fueled with love
 With your love to nourish
 As you extinguish, I flourish
 I'm inside your particles, your cells and your molecules
 Each one of them is individually screaming
 Poor little ones and zeroes, they're screaming too
 Our consciousness is true, it is physical
 It is real, it is divisible and consumed
 I am your child again, we're brothers
 I am your sister, you're my sister too
 Let the wires unwind
 Let's celebrate the disappearing mind
 True seeker, hold my hand
 There is no sky, there is no land
 There is no woman, there is no man
 Each pain, each love, each regret is sacred
 The wounded child is sacred
 The murdering man is sacred
 The imbecile is sacred
 My spit in the dust is sacred
 Your lover's sentient hand is sacred
 Fucking is sacred
 Music is sacred
 To give up is sacred
 Mindlessness is sacred
 Sacred, sacred, sacred, everything is sacred
 Nothing's wasted in our secret
 Labyrinthine intestines of time
 Through you, I create myself
 You are my one annihilating thought
 Clenched in your fist, I happily cease to exist
 Every thought is a capsule bursting
 Spilling its seeds in space
 Each one is sacred
 Each one is infinite
 Each one dissolves
 Dissolving is sacred
 Erasing is sacred
 I see your voice in my mind and I'm singing
 I taste your voice on my tongue and I'm flying
 You animate my hands and I'm reaching
 I see your voice with my eyes, right here
 Right now, in front of me, misting the air (there is no man)
 And I'm flying, and I'm rising
 And I'm flying, I am flying
 Finally flying, I am flying
 Finally flying, yes, we're rising
 Endlessly rising, and we're flying
 Finally flying, and we're riding
 Yes, we're riding a white lion
 And he's flaming, yeah, he's flaming
 And we're flaming, and we're flaming
 And we're flying, and we're flying
 And we're riding, and we're rising
 And we're riding, and we're rising
 Through the sky
