Rising Tide (early sketch)


Stand up straight to push away
The cobwebs and the growing space (for another day)
Disgraced yourself but not for long
You choke down what you once got wrong

Now suffocate the rising tide
Reactors (reactions) made to blow your mind
Designs they (you) thought were bullet proof
Were nothing more than misconstrued

Now you know we're always waiting for
A metaphor to come
Always chasing down the answers but
Our legs don't seem to run

If you colour me a picture, please
Don't paint it black and white
Everyone's still suffering through
To make it last another night
But that's alright, yeah that's alright

While ego conquers many things
From diamonds onto golden rings (Like marionettes on puppet strings)
(Each )With ink stains (stain) racing through the dark
In tune for pathways made of sparks

Express yourself but not too loud
No filtered cries still coming out
For every doubt you chose to sink
As looser lips hang on the brink

Now you know we're always waiting for
A metaphor to come
Always chasing down the answers but
Our legs don't seem to run

If you colour me a picture, please
Don't paint it black and white
Everyone's still suffering through
To make it last another night
But that's alright, yeah that's alright
