The tide's rising
Did you make it?
Do you hear it in the distance
~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Do you know it’s safe
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
A moat so shallow,
Your thoughts so deep they might pull you under
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~
Stack more to the teetering tower,
let someone hold you
Dig your heels deep
Let their hands trace the words on your back
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~~~~~ ~~ ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
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
~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
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 feel
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
you’ll wander and wonder
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~
there?
I’m hopeful
