Efflix 2. Journey Through the Jungles of Venus

The clouds divide like silver doors
Green light spills across the floor
Vines awaken in the rain
Drawing circles on the pane
No road appears upon the screen
Only miles of breathing green
Every signal fades away
As the forest learns our names
Every leaf turns when we speak
Something moves beneath our feet
Journey through the jungles of Venus
Underneath a violet sun
All the trees are leaning toward us
Like they know where we came from
Journey through the jungles of Venus
Every shadow has a pulse
We believed we’d find a planet
Now the planet’s finding us
Amber rivers cross the stone
Flowers ring like telephones
Through the static, soft and low
Come the voices that we know
I hear a room I left on Earth
I see its windows in the ferns
You reach out, but in your hand
There is only golden sand
Every path closes behind
Every branch reflects the mind
Journey through the jungles of Venus
Underneath a violet sun
All the trees are leaning toward us
Like they know where we came from
Journey through the jungles of Venus
Every shadow has a pulse
We believed we’d find a planet
Now the planet’s finding us

Do not cut the silver leaves
Do not wake what lies beneath
Walk in silence, breathe in time
Leave no memory behind
But the forest knows the truth
Every world we travel through
Keeps a little piece of us
Growing where we cannot touch
Journey through the jungles of Venus
Underneath a violet sun
Now the trees are closing round us
And the way back home is gone
Journey through the jungles of Venus
Every shadow has a pulse
We believed we’d find a planet
Now the planet remembers us
