Ursa Minor

from Empty Ship by Apres Pompeii

lyrics

I waited too long for the wind to change and now the sparks are rising up from the bay. I waited too long for the sun to shine, now I can’t feel the warmth of that eye. I waited too long to show you my love, now I can’t pull my nails from your blood. I waited too long to let myself be controlled, now I can’t seem to give up my soul. Hunted my mother down in broad daylight. I hunted her down with my brother by my side. I showed him how to sling his bow tight and then I left him with no range or sight. Let those arrows flow, speak with burning oil. Let those arrows go, float on parasols. Let those arrows go, piercing all involved. Look for the little bear up in the sky. Look for his tongue, beautiful and bright—the northern star, the mariners guide—avoid and leave me behind, don’t follow me.
