Marine Transgressions - Hostage Calm

In the midday you’ll hear summer groan

Of how she misses years of old

Her temperament’s been stretched so thin

Revealing signs of silent discontent

Yet you pretend she likes it like this

Don’t turn it down;

Let the oceans rise high forever

It’s drowning out

The sounds of everyone whispering to each other

About where we will go when it overflows

And I’m wondering…

How far from shore

Can we be sure

We won’t be the ones going under

For the others who stay afloat?

Don’t turn it down;

Let the oceans rise high forever

It’s drowning out

The sounds of everyone whispering to each other

About where we will go when it overflows
