1.
Now its me with the fingertips cracking through your walls feeling out what isn’t there and screening all your calls Another victim to the fall Now its you on the other line looking for someone to drink the cup you’ve poured yourself and make your bed undone Really could have been anyone What I couldn’t be We revolve around a chosen star To be like them and to reflect on to other men Fading out where they are into gray dust Forevermore Forevermore Forevermore Forevermore

We rusted on the beaches while it was winter in our dreams You sang icy streams into the midnight breeze A faint spectral bridge with distance seemingly built in Light shown across beneath, fish of prey Repelling pleasure withdrawing faith We’re all searching the same way Repelling pleasure withdrawing faith We’ll find our return some day

The Well 03:35
This is the afterthought of argyle patterns in our hearts Past begins fraying your ends Winters pass some of these the scent of fallen leaves in spring so it was with you I’ll cover this mud A well routed trudge That day my sense ran off while walking backwards through my thoughts Loaded guns Darkness undone And dreams of symmetry what nature couldn’t be in time to itself Reflect and repel A mirror to the well But couldn’t see what was outside measured equally as deep Could it be I was looking for something that wasn’t me This is the afterthought

about

Book of Symbols Grand Rapids, Michigan

Describing its complex sound as a “collective vision of orchestrated sound,” Book of Symbols has taken a page or two from ’90s shoegaze, while bringing its eyes up to the new millennium’s shimmering horizon.
