Strange how we go through nights a-sleeping,
Through the glow and quiet
Turn the outside in

Strange we should cloud our minds
Paralyze our senses
In the hour of ghosts and angels

The mystery, the sole sound of the air
Passing through lungs and branches
A time to shed
The experienced skin
And learn to be exposed

Let it in, breathe it in,
Blow out your daily ashes, deadly sins and bitter tears,
Watch them vanish into thin air

Strange how we wake at daybreak
And live on embodied,
Unchilled, unbathed, unsilenced
By night’s unveiling

How much longer this build-up inside
Before it blows us up apart?
How much time left to shed
The experienced skin
And be silenced by night’s unveiling?

Let it in, breathe it in,
Blow out your daily ashes, deadly sins and bitter tears,
Watch them vanish into thin air
