The tide's rising
Did you make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
Every drop that’s ever been
So close you can feel it in your lungs
~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Do you know it’s safe
That this castle is really just a type of prison held low
~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
Did you make it?
The glimmer of new only lasts as long as that of dew
Stack more to the teetering tower,
let someone hold you
Dig your heels deep
Let their hands trace the words on your back
Take that time to find your feet
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~~~~~ ~~ ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
Did you make it?
Has it all been mined? Did that rush last this time
Do you even mind?
The walks we take are framed in 1’s and 0’s
do they mean less than the ones that are filled with suns and shallows
~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
Did you make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
Don’t let them make you,
Clawing back the broken for the right remake it?
Did you all make it?
Make it from the old, from a time before sand was made to think
Make it slower
Make it feel
Make it balanced, understand, the storm in you was there to give rise to those who can’t be silenced
you’ll wander and wonder
Did you make it
there?
