about

. Sparklenight – as in a visual equivalent of silence.

lyrics

. sparkles in the darkest night, coruscating, brilliant brilliant light . is the air really made of light? ..its all right, its all right ... though the darkness can be kept at bay - it will never, never go away : night is the lack of day - away, away! and in the waterfall, see the silver bodies twine & jump - & though the water falls, gravity can't touch your soul at all ...why then must we always fall ... always writhing, held in thrall - pale eyes staring to appall the call .
