Inspired by the death poem of Gesshū Sōko
(Jan. 10, 1696)
lyrics
no prison if there's no key
like
reason to belief
I
on the highest mountainside
practice
to breathe
to brace for that
endless fall
it's the
absent gravity
the sword that cuts the whole world
in the time you don't need
two motions blessed
sit
opposite the blade
it's the
air and the binary
sides of the quiet stave
you're just a slave
in the time that you're here
(and the line never ends)
but in time
the darkness and the light
dissolve inside your mind
the coin becomes a marble again
that rolls on down the line
I can sadly only choose between anything and dragon eyes for my favorite track, but then I realized it probably is anything. The rest of the album and its instrumental sister album are both amazing and imo her best release thus far. 9/10 angrypizza98
