To Tide Us Over |
| Maybe your tongue’s a ruddy seafloor, silent in its night |
| Just shy of the constellations you guide by whispers of light |
| Beneath the surface of sound sayings mirroring their time |
| What you mean to say burns silent, a star shined |
| Clear each night above the noisy city in your mind |
| (Say what?) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind |
| (Say what?) 'Round every wound, you just needed some time |
| Sounding out the shapes now of your most beautiful dreams |
| The speaker inside you stands to deliver the unseen |
| Send up words to tide us over, bubbles in the flood |
| From our new Atlantis, somewhere beneath the sea of blood |
| I’m diving now to meet you |
| We can dance beneath the flagless moon |
| (Say what?) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind |
| (Say what?) 'Round every wound, you just needed some time |
| Finally the tide has come to lick away |
| Scars all chewed into the land |
| Rising out the sea, your words shine |
| Haloing the jagged rocks of splashing man |
| Chewing scars into the land |
| Rising out the sea, your words shine |
| Finally the tide has come |
| You just needed some time |
| Rising out the sea your words shine |
| Finally the tide has come to lick away |
| Scars all chewed into the land |
| Rising out the sea, your words shine |
| Haloing |
| Rising out the sea, your words shine |
| Finally the tide has come |
