I followed the waves
I watched them folding under
and I know that sound
I followed the waves
I felt them rushing out
to greener pastures
is the ocean
still blue
to you?
looking on
the sands of time
forgotten love
I wanna know what it feels like
tire tracks
my hands are tied behind my back
is the ocean still blue
to you?
is our sky brand new?

Tinders

don't move
it's a mistake
the rising tide is howling at the gates
night moves
long plays
the cities drowning with open box cafes
love
in our hands
love
they'll never understand
stay calm
you're carried away
the future's in the hands of your valet
relax
just play the game
opposites attract with tinder flames
love
in our hands
love
they'll never understand
love
in our hands
love
it's got a fighting chance

EMILY

|

found myself floating away
life guards and victims are born the same
found myself floating away from home
away from home
without a note
I swear I'll float
around your moat
found myself looking back
downstream without a life raft
I swear I'm never going back
going back
to years that past
I'll steal a raft
it's my last laugh
it's my last laugh

Rapture

if you changed your name
would he know?
tribulations
for the 21st souls
rapture
it's time
rapture
just get in line
life's a choice
win and lose
revelations
can't escape my noose
rapture
it's time
rapture
just get in line

The Silent World

it's raining on a Saturday night
everyone's tucked inside
reading along to Jacque Cousteau
cause we're waiting on a title fight
we've waited more than half of our life
hanging on blow by blow
blow by blow
cause we're looking out for what we got
and people we say we're not
we'll only the bottom when we know the top
there are things we can't take back
even if they make us laugh
even as our time floats past
blow by blow

State and Property

we'll sit and watch the house float by
our foundation's letting go
but we won't
give in
we'll stand and watch the well run dry
public workers passing bribes
but we won't
give in
but we won't
give in
