April, We Can Break Through If We Try - ThouShaltNot

You body fades into the backlight

The long day is ending

While somewhere it begins

Our fingers wind to one another

But you see a world between us

Twirling on the head of a pin

And April, we are not just two

You are not just you

And a thread runs through this

In time will I leave what’s mine?

Will we learn to push the world away?

'Cause April this only eggshell

We can break through if we try

There is nothing real that separates

The vision from the eye

And April must we be divided

When effortless you read my mind?

For the singing hears the sparrow

And the blue gives birth to sky

And April comes to clean the winter

Burns the grey and black to green

In your breath I spring the forest wild

To reach beyond the screen

April do you hear my hearing?

Are the islands not connected

By some mythic engineering?

We can bridge the space between

I swear I had a dream through your eyes

And in the morning

I did not know who I was

We clutch to weathervanes and sundials

Praying for the moon to pull us

Closer into one

And April don’t you give up now

Crying on account

Of the skin that binds you

I feel summer’s coming soon

When the moths and trees and the heart entwine

'Cause April this only eggshell

We can break through if we try

There is nothing real that separates

The vision from the eye

And April must we be divided

When effortless you read my mind?

For the singing hears the sparrow

And the blue gives birth to sky

And April comes to clean the winter

Burns the grey and black to green

In your breath I spring the forest wild

To reach beyond the screen

April do you hear my hearing?

Are the islands not connected

By some mythic engineering?

We can bridge the space between
