"Illumination" lyrics

"Illumination"

Waits the growing stem of time
Waits poisonous outside
You're seconds within mine

Don't memorise the leaves
That cover to deceive
To make you forget me

I'll kill that weed somehow
Inside I speak for now
Before dust settles down

Now, the dead who walk in dreams
Point south to where you sleep
Waste time no more they heed

So if it's in our light
I speak across the night
Walk from your dream to mine
