Jacob Lee - Knowledge

Sit close, let me tell you every truth I know
I could read you poetry & prose
We could contemplate the syllables
If you so wish, for it
If so
Let your consciousness dissolve like snow
Watch the branches replicate your bones
Place the precious palms among your own
Be the water & the boat, & so I stow

Every thought that lies inside of me
Atop the shelves amidst my library
So, when you're older you may visit me when I'm at peace

Patiently I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
It's okay if you don't understand, just yet

Speak slow,
Let me ask before I take a note
May I read a couple words you wrote
Every page you touch the letters glow
From the ashes do we grow?
& I boast
I can comprehend the words you spoke
You're the writer & the quote, & now I hope

Every thought that lies inside of me
Someday finds its way from soul to speech
So I may bestow a legacy like you to me

Patiently I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do

Like trying to speak while remaining in silence
Like facing your fears without feeling frightened
I'll never know if I'm yet to try it
I'll do my best to stay open-minded

Patiently I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do

Patiently I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do
