Moon and Sea - Told Slant

Moon and sea conspiring to sand the earth away

Earth upon its axis aims to spin me off one day

How can I impart this in what little time I have:

In our little time we must impart the things we can

We can talk until the birds are waking

Up with the sun, another day the earth has taken

And learn about the things that only moonlight can draw out

That set the page on fire when you try to write them down

Don’t stop this breathing

Don’t stop this breathing

I can tell you’re drinking with the door closed

Sunday Morning playing in your headphones

Sometimes there’s no one around you who will call

Sometimes I’m too angry to be kind to you at all

Look at what we’ve made into a normal way to be

If I cannot lift it I just cast it off of me

But what we cannot carry only piles up at our feet

Rise, water, and take me

Rise, water, and take me
