Calyx

Listen on SoundCloud

Within the helix
blueprint for life
echoes of every structure
you were a tree, you were a raging predator
you must leave the egg behind
growth requires vulnerability

Calyx
buried deep in the spiral
tying our earthbound corpus
down to the basic primal
sense of purpose
(x2)

born out of the gravity well
spreading across the fabric of space
where will you go now that you have left the womb
will you just plant yourself somewhere new
or are you ready to live in the plains between the stars
you must leave your planet behind
growth requires vulnerability

Calyx
Cradle of generation
Armor around the flower
bursting into the sunlight
surging power
(x2)

a bloom of energy
glowing graffitti across the stars
negative entropy
you are a sigil, you are an intermingled fire
you must leave your body behind
growth requires vulnerability
growth requires vulnerability
growth requires vulnerability

Calyx
growing around the starseed
just a caul over your eyes
no more protection needed
launch into sky
(x2)
