I Can't Save You

A song about a Pacific Island slowly being enveloped by the rising oceans.

Run down Inside
And take Your place
Can’t drown Must hide
And lose All trace 
   
Pressure Cracks it
Seeps in Under
Floor is Sinking 
Muddy Tincture

Save this child, the tide is rising
Cannot swim, her mother’s sinking
Help finds something else to pursue
Hope leaves us to wait for rescue

Water came, and life will submit
Endless sweep of all gone with it
I don’t want to lose this place to
Suffocate the noise inside you

Every Breath is
Cauterizing
Liquid Blaze is
Paralyzing

Terra Firma
Dissolution
Mired in the
Water’s Orphan

Save this child, the tide is rising
Cannot swim, her mother’s sinking
Help finds something else to pursue
Hope leaves us to wait for rescue

Water came, and life will submit
Endless sweep of all gone with it
I don’t want to lose this place to
Suffocate the noise inside you

Rocks crack eyes from
Clay and pebbles
Hearth collapse
Refuge crumbles

Shattered trees
barren veins
Silted fields are
All That Remains

Kiribati


Precipice turning
Boundary blurring
Wind, rain, rock, cloud
Cold ocean whirling


Endless journey to places that
We have seen many times before
Rusted network of frayed wires
Short circuited and washed ashore


Infinite torrents
blinded in white
To the tunnel at the
end of the light


Repeating lines with no meaning
diatribe to justify

Endless swinging pendulum
Just to stop being terrified



Frigid
Torrents
Mountain 
Avalanche


Revealed out of the mist


Faint image of the masts appear

Sails flip, billow and fall
To take me to one last frontier


Where will this take me?
With no map and key?
When will this be over?
Do these cracks go lower?
What would you decry?
Do you think we'll die?
I don't think you'd lie.

World Without End

Abolish, the silence in the shadow
When all, the feeble ones come calling
Reveals something, that will not heed tomorrow's
urgent passage by

Desolation is the solace
When all that you have is mine
Crown on your head is misshapen
Your wretched, displaced fright

You're holding, monopoly on violence
The doer of the deed
Surrender, the power of impairment
Yielding to passers by

Consternation your undoing
Barely hiding your dismay
Won't you take back your own virtue
Keep the rabid wolves at bay

------

Obstructions broken
Destruction breaks all mold
Instinctual cowering  
When panic takes it's hold

When silence beckons 
Rip off your thin blindfold
Hunt down your demons
Feed them the rabid wolves
Don't fold
