The tide's rising

Did you make it?

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

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

Every drop that’s ever been

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

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


Do you know it’s safe

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

Did you make it?


The glimmer of new only lasts as long as that of dew

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

let someone hold you

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

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.

Did you make it?


Has it all been mined? Did that rush last this time

Do you even mind?

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

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

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


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

Pulling yourself from the ashes again and again

does it ever end?

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


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

the fight and flight

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

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

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


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

Did you make it

~~~~~~

I’m hopeful
