Desolation Lake

about

Analysis of an atheist cosmic epiphany. On a Lake.

lyrics

Let my eyes shut and just let go. Reckoning dead, set adrift in the vast expanse between what we believe and what we know. When I awoke, I was overcome by the grandeur and beauty. It beckoned sweetly, reached with open arms. Held by the sway, made to contemplate the improbability, I felt so small. We're all just cosmic dust, electrons searching for meaning. We share a fundamental common history. We're all just atoms rearranged in complex ways, every part of us was part of everything, and will be again before too long. When will we learn? How many times will the second hand spin before we light the darkness we've been living in? I float in awe, the treeline speaks a tongue so old. The earth joins with the sky, the water feels so cold. I lay here in perfect humility. The dawn of growth, the dusk of death, I feel their energy. Nothing is ended, nothing lost. Everything in it's right place.
