The tide's receding
Did you make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
So close you can feel it in your lungs
Did we make it?
Do you know it’s safe
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
Your thoughts so deep they might pull you under
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~
Let their hands trace the words on your back
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
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
~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
Pulling yourself from the ashes again and again
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
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
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
you’ll wander and wonder
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~
