| They tried to attack you / They tried too late / We’re waiting on the storm to
|
| hide the wake / Bringing you up to the surface / dragging you up to the shore /
|
| holding you up to the sun like Is this yours? |
| / It’s yours
|
| (Cecil)
|
| It’s yours right, this house with the boarded up doors right / poor site like
|
| maybe it’s mine and you made it
|
| in time with the foresight / to light a torch and torch this place / coordinate
|
| my life with yours / private wars and a chore to relate in a world that you
|
| made fulla minor chords / Find the oars, lie in the wake / quiet your mind,
|
| they’re lying in wait / they’re firing everything all over everywhere /
|
| everyone in the asylum is safe / Wait, the size of the tide is—it's rising
|
| again, so align with your horizons / So can I get a witness, can I get a clue /
|
| If I can’t, can I get an amen or a view / of the few and the proud that are
|
| crowding around the canals / in the masses to catch you and ration the savage
|
| of you / Grab for the branches, wrap them in you / we’ll scream to cause
|
| avalanches / that ceramic sunset’s for you
|

|
| Whitecaps break above us but at the bottom it stays calm / just the rising
|
| tides can touch us / just lift you up and set you down / But danger is as
|
| danger does / There’s a motor in the water and it’s coming for us / and I can
|
| smell the gasoline, smell the rust / and I can’t move fast enough away / Break,
|
| make for the deep end / don’t wait for me / cause I’ll be damned if they get
|
| another / just to catch and / catch and release
|
| (Stef)
|
| Choked, blotter on the tongue / water in the lung, trippin / hotter than the
|
| sun, fodder for the big guns / finished with your fun, know I’m not the one /
|
| Time crawls and I’m still here somehow beggin / still fear that I’ll waste my
|
| life on the end of your impulse / lettin the lead fly from your weapon / Hit or
|
| miss, bigger fish and a sea full / of deceitful creep people / Lust betrays,
|
| sweat the sheets through / So I stash and I grasp and I laugh and I plan it /
|
| keep it on the run like mechanics / You say Don’t hold your breath / you say
|
| Don’t sit and wait / Cause when you’re up then you’re out / and the fuss and
|
| the pout won’t work / don’t push them brakes
|
| (Sims)
|
| They came up the coast with a cavalcade / these seas I just can’t navigate / so
|
| I recalibrate / then bend the frame until the image freed up from the acetate /
|
| I was at the helm with the map and the loop / looking for a keyhole to pass on
|
| through / they were waiting outside with incisors / ready to devise, divide,
|
| and syphon the fuel / they just shoot, they just shoot / hand in the mouth
|
| from the garden we grew / so I’m carving until I make a shape that suits / fly
|
| the sail so the space match too / and all I wanted was good and free / and my
|
| hands were good enough / paid up with a couple cuts / bob and weave / find a
|
| space between and a cut above
|
