from Immortal Rhythm, released January 31, 2023
You’re glad you weren’t there in 41
Yes, he terrorized his people
And he made his horse a priest
Now my empire is built each night
And razed before each dawn

I am living in the limestone
I am happy underneath
The half-life of my ruins
Is told through iron teeth

And maybe I could be another song in your rotation
Yes, maybe I could be another song in your rotation

In circular parade, glass faces smile
You do not hold the rank to name my worth
And muses are not columns
But halls of empty arches
It seems I’ll never quell this immortal rhythm

Our words fall into patterns
Shaped from all the lives we’ve lived
I sleep in fear and speak in memories
There’s glyphs under my skin
And if linguists disagree
I guess they’ve never read a book like me

And maybe I could be another song in your rotation
Yes, maybe I could be another song in your rotation
