Measuring the Heavens Songtext
von Textures

I′ve got no voice on paper
My language lost to open space
Could I dissolve myself in liquid
And be poured over your face?

Speak your mind
Mind your tongue
Save the energy
How to sail the open seas

Verbal splinters, paper-thin
A stutter, bones, and skin
How to sail the open seas

Got my poetry silenced
Over the years
Got my dancin' locked away

Unnoticed poems and pictures
Perfectly hidden in his palace
No entrance from the outside walls
Only endless potential


Ruptured words have pierced my lungs
Leavin′ me breathless
Lost at the open seas

My call became silence
Shaped by the years
Heard by none except the wind

Unnoticed poems and pictures
Perfectly hidden in his palace
No entrance from the outside walls
Only endless potential

My perception falls apart
My restless change of seasons
My body fears the open heart
Seeds of wonder, for I will cry out
My hands are achin', a lifeline fadin'

Dissolve myself
Takin′ the shape of sound
Whispers remembered by none
Exist in the vacuum


I′ve got no voice on paper (I've got no voice)
My language is lost to open space
Could I dissolve myself in liquid
And be poured over your face?

As I try my own path
I lean inward to flourish
Above my ground
The clean between the rubble
The calm between the rustle

I′m not on speakin' terms
With the lines I put on the table
The replies I get confirmed
My paradigm is old and unabled

Leave no comment
Hand out fragments
A new dawn paintin′
