Bleeding Gold

Family memory

Golden light through the wound — transformation in untethered time.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

Hands melting off the dial, dialing down the ancient stress
Staring at the fracture glass, a treadmill run to nowhere fast
Yesterday's a ghost in the machine, tomorrow's just a screen I haven't seen
Step off the belt, step out of the grind, leave the weight of the ticking behind
Shatter the casing, let it bleed, go
Breaking the silence of the second toe
Not in the before, not in the afterglow
Just the friction of the now, now
I am the light spilling through the cracks
No more walking on the phantom tracks
It's not a journey, it's a total release
A violent calm, a radical peace
Clock is a cage, the neon is a lie
Let the future burn, let the history die
Feet hidden plastic, heart hidden stone
Into the present, into the zone
Every rotation is a loop in my head
Killing the thought of the words I said
The gold is leaking, the surface is torn
A new vibration is finally born
Shatter the casing, let it bleed, go
Breaking the silence of the second toe
Not in the before, not in the afterglow
Just the friction of the now, now
I am the light spilling through the cracks
No more walking on the phantom tracks
Brecks, it is here, it is now
Shatter, still
