For The Pier (And Dead Shimmering)

I, I pushed off the pier

Infinity ran cold

And filled up my ears

There's the weapon you hold

There's the thing that you hold it to

And the thing you hold dear

Oh, the speed of a year

It runs the wood dry

And water unclear

There's the thing you hold high

Then there's the thing that you hold it to

And the thing you hold dear

I will be an enemy to men seen in the light

Do you think it's alright?

Yes, I think it's alright

It's alright

If you make the waves

The sun makes the rays

The speed of the light

Can be trusted to prey

To prey on the fools

That pushed off your pier

The whirling of pools runs clear

Da, da, da, da, da, da

Da, da, da, da

Da, da, da, da

So I'll be out 'til the shimmering dies

I said, I'll be out 'til the shimmering dies

It's the ringing of the predatory nature of the sky

And the ringing sound it makes when it's burning out your eyes

It's alright, it is alright

It's the speed of the light

It's the speed of a year

It's the weapon you hold

And the thing you hold dear

Oh my dear, oh my dear

It's infinity's time to shine out here

If you make the waves

The sun makes the waves

The speed of the light

Couldn't be trusted to prey

To prey on the fools

That pushed off your pier

The whirling of pools runs clear

Da, da, da, da, dum

Da, da, da, da, da, da

Da, da, da, dum

Da, da, dum

The rocking of boats and the making of mirrors

The whirling of pools running clear

Da, da, da, da, da dum

I hear them say, "put the weapon away"

It's the thing you know and they're taking it away

I know

But I'll find a way
