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?


Do you know it’s safe

That this castle is really just a type of prison held low

~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~

~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~

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

~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~

Let their hands trace the words on your back

~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

Did you make it?


~~~~~~~ ~~ ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~

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!


~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~

does it ever end?

Did you make it?


Do you feel weary? Feel the push and pull

the fight and flight

~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

Clawing back the broken for the right remake it?

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~


Make it from the old, from a time before sand was made to think

~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~

~~~~ ~~ ~~~~

~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~


you’ll wander and wonder

Did you make it

~~~~~~
