lyrics

people of the world flock to
see what it has made
as the heat rises

ice covered mountain gushing out its melt,
inside out and downward
as the heat rises

trees are stillness next to flowing water
in the morning she walks away from the spot to reconvene with stillness
and her own deep glowing
as the heat rises

i am a fountain of endless movement
i am a tree that won't stop swaying

my body softened by thick air sinks into earth
as the heat rises
eaten by rocks and roots and dirt i hear a whisper
that movement is everything
and in movement i'm filled with stillness
and all the people that i carry

dark silhouetted grassblade against green post sunset sky
there is a romance in total darkness
and heat descending

i am a fountain of endless movement
i am a portrait of everyone I've ever loved
