i'm charting oceans for the future,
writing songs for all the waves
i'll color in the coastline
and you'll fill in the blanks
until my ink and architecture soak through the page
and my blueprints fall like anchors,
drowning depth with their weight.
and the veins above grow taut
with the falling saints,
the arteries like ropes choking on their age,
and the submariner's wife has forgot his name
'cause he sunk himself away from the shores of grace.

the horizon makes a fool out of my design,
caught beneath the stitch between the ocean and the sky
where i haven't got
a single bottled note to rise
where i haven't got
a single flare to a spark a sign
but i swear a saw a sail
carrying a light
a heat that comes
and drains these trenches dry
a rescue that would drown my own device--
and i think i see it now without the salt in my eyes.

'cause if i said that i could swim i'd be a liar.
i'd be a liar, i'd be a liar, i'd be a liar…

the seas rend into orchards underneath my feet
the dialogue resounds and i'm playing the lead
my eyes will burn and oh! my throat will bleed
for i will sing the beauty of this scene
because you call me perfect and i call You blind
'cause the picture and the definition don't align
but Your saliva is the tie by which the pages bind
and Your breath the text that lets our justice redefine.

they call it a revival,
but it's more like a birth
when the marrow in my bones
begins to mix with the earth
and the water in my lungs
mixes as mud with the dirt
and "hallelujah!" is recorded
as my first spoken word.
