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
~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
Did we make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
That this castle is really just a type of prison held low
A moat so shallow,
Your thoughts so deep they might pull you under
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~
Stack more to the teetering tower,
~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~
Let their hands trace the words on your back
Take that time to find your feet
Did you make it?
Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There is only make.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
The walks we take are framed in 1’s and 0’s
~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
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
does it ever end?
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Do you feel weary? Feel the push and pull
~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~
Did you all make it?
Make it from the old, from a time before sand was made to think
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
Did you make it
~~~~~~
I’m hopeful
