Moon and Sea

Moon and sea conspiring to sand the earth away
Earth upon its axis aims to spin me off one day
How can I impart this in what little time I have:
In our little time we must impart the things we can

We can talk until the birds are waking
Up with the sun, another day the earth has taken
And learn about the things that only moonlight can draw out
That set the page on fire when you try to write them down

Don’t stop this breathing
Don’t stop this breathing

I can tell you’re drinking with the door closed
Sunday Morning playing in your headphones
Sometimes there’s no one around you who will call
Sometimes I’m too angry to be kind to you at all

Look at what we’ve made into a normal way to be
If I cannot lift it I just cast it off of me
But what we cannot carry only piles up at our feet

Rise, water, and take me
Rise, water, and take me
