i contain multitude - iapetus lyrics

Loading...

we are the body cosmic;
the interconnected flesh
transfigured and forged
in sidereal flame;
dark matter genetics
pulse through our veins
but life begins shattered;
our first breaths are scattered;
and we are born broken

whatever i am is the creation of others
coalescence
nurture molds what nature has made
i contain mult-tudes

shield the eyes—maternal fire;
fragments of self in the distance
cosmic background kin;
ego dies in the frigid expanse
ident-ty k!lled by the knowledge of station;
unwhole apart—everything together;
the untethered celestial
children of cosmic debris

whatever i am is the creation of others
coalescence
nurture molds what nature has made
i contain mult-tudes

lungs heavy with stellar dust;
beating blood-red star hearts;
eternal matter incarnate;
is this the grand design?

where does the weight of the universe lie?

with the stars up high
or with the sp-ce between them?
with the planets above
or with the suns that feed them?

where does the weight of the universe lie?

with the brain that breeds thoughts
or with the mouth that speaks them?

where does the weight of the universe lie?

with the limbs of a body
or with the muscles that move them?

here, from the vantage of stars
a revelation;
no whole exceeds its parts
every cell;
a monument to insignificance
every mind;
an ode to circ-mstance
the truth that each of us must seek:

where does the weight of the universe lie
if not with me?
