lyrics

Walking out
Of what used to be my window
Expecting the morning breeze

Turns out I’m
On a wooden dock I see
Pale horizon instead of trees

From the balcony
Of our home
My mother and I
Observe it all

From the irony
Violence got out
Well insects like you
Deserve to crawl

And all we see is ocean
No motion at the core
No surface to look for

I miss the kind of rays
That burn my eyes
Laying flat on the ground
Made of local soil
Nowhere else to be found

This could be
The one way out
On the flying boat here

There’s no need
For experience
Tomorrow’s plans are so clear

From the balcony
All is blur
My mother and I
Reverse a fall

From the irony
Violence got out
Well engines like this
Deserve to stall

And all we see is ocean
No motion at the core
No surface to look for

I miss the kind of rays
That burn my eyes
Laying flat on the ground
