to see the side of the sun
to eat the end of the ocean

you ate the flowers, you drank the orchard, you spat out solid love
you ate opinions when they were rockhard, 'til we were sound enough
you ate the mountain like you would inhale, but can you swallow the whale?

to see the side of the sun
to eat the end of the ocean

you ate the colors, you drank the dark tone, you gave us cellophane
you ate assumptions when they were stone cold, 'til we were fully sane
you ate the white fist like you would exhale, but can you swallow the whale?

to see the side of the sun
to eat the end of the ocean

(you ate the lotus that you gave me)
you are the blank sheet of the universe, you are the broken ring
you are what happens when I close my eyes and I don't need a thing
it was essential when all my breathing failed, I saw you swallow the whale.
