She sent a jagged rock falling from the sky
That pierced skin and ripped right through bone
To let us know we belong to the land
And it was never ours to own
Meandering through time and mind
We shut out the ability to grasp what is "yours" and "mine"
Left alone to our devices
"This weight will break you
This wait will take you."
She woke up with an ocean view and sight of no land
We'll all tread water for an undetermined amount of time
Most of us will drown in our own misery
Before we feel the comforting relief of the earth, of a coastline
Rising waters will erode any levee we have built
To protect our love for convience
"This weight will break you
This wait will take you."
We wake up with an ocean view and sight of no land
A current that is too strong
Transcending every class of existence
Sweeping us out to sea and testing every form of patience
This will be a monumental awakening
And the birth of a retrospective thought
Forcing us out, to see
"Is it the wait that breaks you?
Is it the weight that takes you?"
