Having Had & Lost Some Infinite Thing - Caravels

Just the other day I read

That god’s the sun and it’s such an awful shame

We never saw it until now

We never could look straight

Just the other day I read

That I’m the only person I truly think about

I never saw it until now

I never could look straight

I couldn’t see the space between

Where you stand and where you’ll be

We can divide the distance in two

My proximity can be halved to you

We can divide the distance in two

My proximity can be halved to you

What you see is intricate

It coils and it nests inside

We are just some passerbys

Some background filler indistinct

What you see is intricate

It coils and it nests inside

We are just some passerbys

Some background filler indistinct

I won’t suffer, no, not like he did

I won’t hang myself with another wish

But alone I sit atop my throne

With a kingdom the size of a skull

Such a lonely place to lay and wait

Forever mine and mine alone

I won’t suffer, no, not like he did

I won’t hang myself with another wish
