The Sea Around Us

For a long time we were coasting on fumes
It didn't matter: we were glued to the view
Out from the frontlines with nothing to lose, the world got longer, the world got longer

Read an author, she was born in the sky, died not long after in the context of time, and in the middle she had a beautiful mind and it spilled over, it spilled over

Would you shine when you get up to fight
Would you win faster by dimming your lights
We'll all get smaller 'til we all disappear, if we hide how we're bright out of some distant fear

We're always sinking, separate and sore, but deep sea mountains: how are they formed
And do they, too, start to die from the moment they're born
The world is changing, always has been

Would you shine when you get up to fight
Would you win faster by dimming your lights
We'll all get smaller 'til we all disappear if we hide how we're bright out of some distant fear
Yea, we'll hide how we're bright but it'll just be from fear

We need your beautiful brain, your clever eyeball and your love for the rain cuz we've got a lifetime for pushing back against pain
If something's pretty, let it be pretty
