Posture

Sideways and holding Like a mantis on a leaf Trying to hold the posture Until the summer of relief Or is it a lifeline To the biggest thing we've faced My own arm won't support me yet The coming rain is all I taste So we move on to the next week It's ok to be a little meek Move on to the next first thing Our tree has another ring Sideways and holding Like a mantis on a leaf Trying to hold the posture Until the summer of relief And we're singing We're dazzling And we're glinting We're frazzled And we're singing More than we ever did Sideways and holding Holding and holding There's a fire slowly burning Embers over an era Maybe there's no other shore We're living on a new floor Less of a lot and more Back to how we were before We grew up And we're singing We're dazzling And we're glinting We're frazzled And we're singing More than we ever did
