Invisible College

from Small Mercies by An Historic

/

lyrics

I'll find today
The corner of the fabric
That thin translucent layer
That wilts in rising heat

I'll peel it back
and stare into eternal greyest space
and greet it with my grinding teeth

The lights are brighter on this field
where grass is shimmering
and suddenly before my eyes
the leaves are glistening

I'm holding it,
My breath, my soul, my sanity,
And please stay in sight of me
Nothing I think is right

We've had this talk
It starts where it ends
it's stiff and then it bends
before it flutters into night

I think it's been a couple of hours
Since we've been gone
It's kind of hard, on blistered feet,
To feel too strong

I cross into this slender hall of mirrors
Where the architecture blurs and then grows clearer
Pillars crumble and the College disappears.
