white whale (feat. JT Bates)

I hunt for the white whale

I’m always only miles away

lightweight, only some white veil

all in tune to be run on faith

maybe monomania

or mainly all I’ve ever done

all ways only miles away

when I hunt for the white whale

Now that the water is clear

can you see it, then?

Now that the water is near

can you tell who’s left?

was it for the best...?

Holystone all you own, all you hope, all you’ve ever known

If there’s no shade below those castles in the sky..

I hunt for the white whale

I’m always only miles away

lightweight, only some white veil

all in tune to be run on faith

maybe monomania

or mainly all I’ve ever done

all ways only miles away

when I hunt for the white whale

Now that the water is still

no wake on the past (...?)

Now that the hour is near

was it for the best...?

Night unfolds all you harbour

oh heigh-ho, old untethered hope

In some way maybe casting anchor is sinking down

beneath the waves the wreck of many

there’s no shade below those castles in the sky

or anywhere...

I hunt for the white whale

I’m always only miles away

lightweight, only some white veil

all in tune to be run on faith

maybe monomania

mainly all I’ve ever done

all ways only miles away

when I hunt for the white whale
