The tide's rising
Did you make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
So close you can feel it in your lungs
~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Do you know it’s safe
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
The glimmer of new only lasts as long as that of dew
Stack more to the teetering tower,
~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
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?
~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
do they mean less than the ones that are filled with suns and shallows
~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Do you understand it? Do the whispers even matter anymore? Love over blood, over rules, over certainty
Pulling yourself from the ashes again and again
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Do you feel weary? Feel the push and pull
~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
Don’t let them make you,
Clawing back the broken for the right remake it?
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~
Make it slower
Make it feel
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
Did you make it
there?
I’m hopeful
