Lyrics
we're surrounded
on all sides
in high tides
and passing strides
that's when they shoot your dog
i've found it
the mean tide line
and i'm stuck
on a strip of sand
that's when they sue your ass
my whole life
i have walked
now i must row
a family dying
never once
you let us go
and of course i've heard you
talking nicely
in the streets
and i've seen that face
and the once i never really want to meet
tell me how
you see yourself
is this what you wake up to?
in the mirror every morning?
what did we really do?
a swarm of bees
the summer heat
burns a hole
through your feet
even the concrete
makes it known
you can't go home
on your own
i know you can trust
you have no home near us
a rising cloud of ash
surrounding you at last
a whole family
busy grieving
a town mourning
this complex
greed is a drug
i never want to take
and i know hate
the wrong path
but why does it seem
like the only way
i know some day
you'll watch the waves
rise up high
you'll meet the tide
you'll see your life
flash before your eyes
we're surrounded
by people like you
wealth and power
here are now brand new
while i wish you
the very best
i wish that for us
not for you
now your borders
are forever broken
the town can walk
walk right through
