The tide's rising
Did you make it?
Do you hear it in the distance
That breathing sine wave
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
Did we make it?
Do you know it’s safe
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
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 their hands trace the words on your back
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There is only make.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
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
We should make it!
Do you understand it? Do the whispers even matter anymore? Love over blood, over rules, over certainty
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
Did you make it?
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 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?
