Here continues Little Rabbit’s reflections on an emerging life that won’t end but will cycle, crumble, and remake itself just the same. She reflects on the happenings of the third chapter: how monuments were built and how she came to be forgotten to herself and everyone else.
lyrics
Must’ve left there on a dark ship
My eyes falling open to a new day
When they shut the door to the big sleep
We just kept on wandering lives
Must’ve stayed that way for a little while
Tiny down creature watching the light
Everywhere you look hatches are falling open
Bearing life with little sighs
They stand all day at the cherry laurel
Pondering the way, immortal
A monument that dipped in the brushes
A subtle fostal from an old soul
Who found the story for her own light
And every hell she’d ever been through
The singularity broke us apart
Severing the tendons connecting our hearts
Before we had a chance to stand
We’re crumbling again
Life’s light hit harshly
But we never died
Must’ve been a dark march into the future
No memories to guide me
No signs no golden powers
Just teeth a little brown at the junctures
This universe I was born to
Won’t lift you up all on its own
It’s a slow apocalypse
Full of places to into
Must’ve chanced on a light beam bouncing through the stars
One in a million easy and free
Rose to unlikely heights but
Ain’t I a ghost if it’s vanished from my mind?
Why do you wait for me?
I am no one
And so far away
