effluvia 5. theories

Arrows bend, rays break
Digits stop unfolding
Something does not click
It's slowly sinking deeper

When a golden sky hangs
Languid over burning fields
And bodies hung on pikes
You'll find me dreaming

And the theories don't always
Match the way they ought
And the reasons aren't as clear
As everybody always thought

And ravens don't descend
Their bodies fall like hailstones
And all the sobbing ghosts
They fade away like fog

The ocean is always near me
And it's too damned far at sea
And someone else is here with me
Somewhere we can't see

So tell me what you think the point is
Tell me what you think my name is
Tell me what you think this life is
Tell where you see the point

Where this heart is, where the light is
Where this right is, where the soul is
Where these roads lead
How to find the river's flow
So tell me where the truth is
Tell me where I have to go.
