This sea is sinking
Where the water once was at my knees
Is nothing but sand and sunken ships
Ships which have been destroyed
Not by loosened but extremely tightened lips
Its sails for the last time, see the setting sun
Its rudder for the first, wait on commands that never come
My war;
is fought with thumbs
My war;
is a righteous one
My war;
is 10 years old
My war;
is solid gold
The sea is now beneath my toes
Begging me to let it go
Lost cities and treasures it begins to throw
At my arms and legs to help them grow
I cant let it happen, this cannot be
My sea needs to rage and breathe at home with me
But as i watch it retreat from beneath my feet and shadow
I feel my eyes and skin fall
In love with the gravel
