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
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
The glimmer of new only lasts as long as that of dew
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
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
~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
We should make it!
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
the fight and flight
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?
