True Light from Echo Park by Nick Zubeck

too late
sudden fate
moved in like the wind
takes some time to know people go
who's born and who has been

spin around the sun
hand in hand as one

live too long
life upon a shelf
the wake behind the boat
closing in upon itself
wave upon wave erase the traces
then in dreams
we pull apart the seams
the fabric of our lives
comes apart before our eyes
wake up to thread the needle into place

spin around the sun
hand in hand as one

city lights
had you in their sights
sirens in the night
something wasn't right
only a rider on an empty bus
silent now
you’re still heard
every song you played
every single word
dissolving in waves and light embracing us

true light beacon break up the fight
true light break the day from night
true light Illuminate our oversight
turn the red flag white
surrender to your true light
