YEOMAN - Echoes of You

Every time I said I want to die
I meant I'm willing to do anything to live
Even leave this world forever
Even Build a new home atop a nebula
Stick a straw into a buried Lake on Mars
Get tipsy on anti-gravity and invent new constellations
Walking the lines between undiscovered stars
When God pulls me over and asks can you touch your nose
I could say what nose 
I'd be bodiless a Shadow in reverse
A Patch of light made
But the darkness I escaped
The psychology manuals say
No one really wants to die
They want relief
They believe they will never find it in this world.

Joy is just easier to carry than sorrow
And you could lift a city
From how long you've spent holding
What's been nearly impossible to hold
This world needs those who know how to do that
Those who can find a tunnel
With no light at the end of it
And hold it up
Like a telescope
To Show that the darkness Contains many truths
That could bring the light To its knees
Grief astronomer
Adjust the lens
Look close
