about

There are times when I might feel asleep at sea,
Times when I am thrown down from the crest of a wave
Sometimes I can feel my small vessel splintering beneath me. Everything I know. Breaking in the seas.

But she is the ocean and in her I see that I have grown, we have grown. Just when I think for sure I'll be thrown on the rocks, I breathe. And find that there is a board to float on, pulled from the hull of my boat

lyrics

With this unbearable silence
You will Devour us both
All the cold limitations
And fictions that leave us alone

Head now for the shoreline
Yeah, right for the coast
Skim past the beaches
And right for the shoals

But you won't get far
This silence is taking us home
No you won't get far
But oh you have grown

The sail was just paper
With these pieces of twine for rope
Caught in the baseboards
The life I have built in my poems

And the wind in your hair
Just a sign of the explosion
And the salt on my lips
Just the remnants of your ocean

But you won't get far
This silence is taking us home
No you won't get far
But oh you have grown

Oh you have, you have grown
