The way the world is, the passing tide
Holds an instance that knows no lies
But now we have to turn around
And go underground
Heat up the world then cool it down
Find ourselves then melt it down
Recreate what we thought we found
Squeeze our lungs until we drown
That's how you turn the world around.

Softly, softly, whisper through
all the facts we thought we knew.
All the faces we memorized
all the long spaced alibis
The quiet spaces that go between
the chaos, the rage, the breakdowns unseen
it's a strange way to live,
like a vagrant, lost
it's strange to walk between water drops

Nothing's never going on
and silence is actually singing a song
It's the label we gave,
the way the world turns
a secret island out past the berm
and seas overflow until gravity wins.
The way the world ends is the way it begins.
Whaaaat I haven't been on DA in years and I'm going to drop a ton of stuff here.  Been writing a lot of poetry lately.  That's probably not a good thing.
