lyrics

What if we build a moat?
What if we build a fence?
What if we cut them off?
What if we all are lost?

What if we burn the boats?
What if we close the doors?
What if we count the days?
What if we walk away?

First the cranes came
And they put up the walls again
I couldn’t believe it

You followed the trail
Back to the quarry at the edge of town
They said they needed it

Our tangled lines, high tension spines
We tracked the path,
into the flats

Waves rolled, over our heads,
Silence never came but it never left
Maybe we should think about what happens next

What’s left in our latter days
We fed their hunger with our dying ways
The rains came

Peach blossom under cooling towers
Undersea lines and visiting hours
The endgame

We quarantined the fields of gold
The cold embrace of the barren hold
The last one

Ruins all have stories to tell
The first mover leaves just an empty shell
Rivers of concrete swollen in the sun
