Aphelion

A strange orbit
I’m the furthest of the Sun that
Once so brightly lit

My eyes are cold
As I stare into the Sun
It’s myself I behold

Aphelion
It’s been a long time since I’ve been me
Aphelion
Aphelion
It’s been a long time since I’ve been me
Aphelion

I’m a paraphrase
Of silence as I’m floating over
Nameless days

With sanguine eyes
And blue lips I lie on God’s chest
I’m paralyzed

If there’s such a thing
A spiral of nothing
Well, it pulls me down

I could be a medium
Of some ineffable drifting
But I’m captured in vacuum

I’m at the nadir now
I try to move away from this feast
But I don’t know how

But if there’s such a thing
A spiral of nothing
Well, it pulls me down

Aphelion
It’s been a long time since I’ve been me
Aphelion
Aphelion
It’s been a long time since I’ve been me
Aphelion

But if there’s such a thing
A spiral of nothing
Well, it pulls me down
