This is too far The siren knows Our time is up So bring what counts But leave some there We haven't room It's an ocean, It's vast and unspoiled and too cold It's contagious, Just not from shaking hands The blues and reds Grab what's still here Feelings not tied down And take some sand To fill the gaps It's all that's left It's a skyscraper, Dancing to great heights with half smiles It's a white flag, It's time to quit their game From kindness down These buildings came Full of promise, full of walls With sadness gone The silence grows Strong but not enough Built for something else Woke up but it's still dark And light slowly descends It's a city, It's lights and alive and on fire It's a fresh start, It's bleeding and fury and song It's an interstate, Shortcut to things not that different I'm so overwhelmed, But you know where I am
