lyrics

We’re all reborn in a hurricane.

Blinded by sharp and heavy greys.

Since that day I haven’t felt the same,

catastrophes through a windowpane,

catastrophes crashing down on me.
 


Six more starry nights to ease my brain

this metronome hangs in a still frame,

on a battered boat, banking on a shore.



We’ll all wake up one day with new skin,

spit out of the crashing waves.

We can teach these tattered tides to talk the talk
,
If we roll like thunder, will it strike like lightning?

The rubble rambles in my skull,
beautiful and frightening.



Now my ship don’t float the same.

I found the jackline overboard again this morning.

It must have blown away when the storm hit.

We ignored all the warnings,
banking on that shore.
