wander

ponder

Verse 1
We looked out with our 20 eyes ahead
Saw nothing left for us behind
But in the dark we saw the stars (oh to be stars)
Dust to dust to light to life afar

Oh, and how we colored in the stories
And dreamed the words and sang legends of ancient ones who gaze
No time left for the present. So we cut cords and we counted for ascent
And drove down, down deep into the blue moon

Chorus
We went out alone
To be brand new in the new world
We braved the storm
And we leaned in to roads unfurled

And every minute another mile
And every step another trial
Oh we knew, we knew, we knew, we knew
It’s sonderlust

Verse 2
But as we grew, saw the moon was just a half-light
The diamonds in our eyes were just reflections 
Of paintings without painters, of idols with no idles
And couldn’t see a thing through our own thick skin

Behind glass nobody just bare bodies
And we overfit just to fit into fit in too
But what’s a shell to a hammer when you fall in deep with formless matter?
When Earth behind’s just a fleck of dust oh it’s sonderlust

Chorus
Went out alone
To be brand new in a new world
Braved a storm
And leaned in to a road unfurled
And every minute another mile
And every step another trial
How could we have know inside from out
It was sonderlust

Bridge
So please don’t go
I see those questions on your lips
But there’s no grass, green or otherwise
I see you. And I see what you’re trying to do
I know that time will come
I know the lines but can’t speak the words
And I know. When a mind’s made of stone
So go, and I’ll pass you on the way. 
But don’t you know, it’s sonderlust?

Outro 
And so I’m back. Different eyes, same bar
And this time I’m older  (much older)
Last call, lost track. What’s a journey worth if it takes you back
to the start. And I’ll be back tomorrow
