stillwater
hands like houses
piling stones to guide the sea
to say we stopped the tide
we build as only children know to build
we made a way where there's a will
no slowing down or standing still
how did we get so old and never notice
how did we gain the world and lose the moment
finding cracks in our intent
we can't stop the water from rushing in
we can't stop the walls collapsing in
the rocks give to rain and to ruin again
we build as only children know to build
we made a way where there's a will
how did we get so old and never notice
how did we gain the world and lose the moment
scattered stones all that remains
a kingdom swallowed by the sea
how did we get so old and never notice
how did we gain the world and lose the moment
how did we get so old and never notice
how did we gain the world and lose the moment
