a gestation period of 20,000 years is ending
all energy transfers through resonance
please keep trying
black cloud

have you ever noticed
how the color of the grass seems more vivid
right before the sky cracks into rain
in the final moment everything might taste like ash
but it will never burn again
if we survive (if we survive if we survive)
it will consume us
it'll consume us
it'll consume us anyway

what are we the inheritors of?
we are the last ones
fractal holographic toxic petrichor collapse undone
there is a part of us that can't go any farther
this world is still beautiful
but prepare for departure

i feel a black cloud
i feel a black cloud
i feel a black cloud over me

even when the light shines down on us
and illuminates us too
in cold, in cold, in strange cold blue
i don't know
i can't see
i can't see to the end of the days
connect with something living
while connections can be made

there is a world just beyond the horizon
clear air fresh water true love
and a sky unmarred

love something into existence
what are we the inheritors of?
this cruel distance grows

only the familiar is dying
please, please keep trying

energy transfers through resonance
we are sculpted into life by the hand of death

i feel a black cloud
i feel a black cloud
i feel a black cloud over me

please keep trying
a sky so clear
nature rewards courage
no borders
black cloud.
