RISE WITH THE TIDE

waves to bury cities
too many to control
your systems built a prisoner
that no prison can hold
boiling sprawling festers
with no sight of relief
hearts aflame and clenched fists
were armed to the teeth

standing as one
in bold face and detained
stripped and segregated
we're paranoid insane
we're the long term victims of abuse
in our stasis and our fear
but the chains that bind us to our roles
are the chains that keep us near
we hug the drywall paint and steel
walk shoulders inch apart
entrusted with the tools
that could make sure this machine never starts

the seas rise
and beneath the wake
our prisons drown
erode away
resurfacing
the world is ours
rivers free
nights lit with stars

from i to we, we ride the waves
deprogress and decolonize
the earth yearns to live again
through compassionate and open eyes

we're millions suffering silently
at the blades of our own knives
but scars strengthen remind us
we can choose another life
to rip the concrete from the streets
repurposing with careful aim
towards power structures standing firm
we'll rip it from its frame

they fall behind
as our numbers grow
and we're prying doors
and we're throwing stones
we've got too many martyrs
they've got too few
so lets rise with the tide
all it takes is me and you

the futures a blade at your throat
what are you gonna do?
