The tide's rising
Did you make it?
Do you hear it in the distance
That breathing sine wave
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
So close you can feel it in your lungs
Did we make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
A moat so shallow,
Your thoughts so deep they might pull you under
Did you make it?
~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~
Stack more to the teetering tower,
let someone hold you
Dig your heels deep
Let their hands trace the words on your back
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There is only make.
Did you make it?
Has it all been mined? Did that rush last this time
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
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
~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Do you understand it? Do the whispers even matter anymore? Love over blood, over rules, over certainty
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
does it ever end?
Did you make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~
the fight and flight
~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
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
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~
there?
~~~ ~~~~~~~
