The Human Abstract
Polaris
[Verse 1]
Face the change
I'm not ashamed
To say
I take
Pleasure in burning all of my epitaphs
Search with outstretched arms, a torch to hold on to
Turning the sands of time into glass
[Chorus]
Push through here and beyond
Endure every trial, breaking in from the outside
Back to the struggle to then find strength in a starting over
I vowed not to spend my life comforted by enclosure
Better to cry out in pain than be uninvolved
Silent and lame to the life that beckons us
[Bridge]
Sirens calling me over the hills and trails
There to wander so restlessly, bold and tireless
Seeking to broaden the lines dividing identity
[Chorus]
Push through here and beyond
Endure every trial, breaking in from the outside
Back to the struggle to then find strength in a starting over
I vowed not to spend my life comforted by enclosure
Better to cry out in pain than be uninvolved
Silent and lame to the life that beckons us
[Verse 2]
The task at hand
To unleash the bondage
Of endless lives, pressures, actions, questions
Answers giving birth to questions
Unfolding like the petals of a lotus
Eternal longing until we die no more
[Verse 3]
Because you never hold on to the spoils you've won
All your triumphs in vain if you can't embrace a change
All the paths I've been down, I still have never found
Something lasting through the years
But all these worthless fears that mean nothing
Compare your life, your loves
To the vastness of the endless stars above
