The tide's receding
Did you make it?
Do you hear it in the distance
That breathing sine wave
Every drop that’s ever been
So close you can feel it in your lungs
Did we make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
Your thoughts so deep they might pull you under
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
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
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
~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~
the fight and flight
Don’t let them make you,
~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Make it from the old, from a time before sand was made to think
Make it slower
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
you’ll wander and wonder
Did you make it
~~~~~~
I’m hopeful
