Coral

Folk Implosion

Compositor: Imaad Wasif, Folk Implosion, Louise Barlow

Hit the shore, again the climb
Morning sun I'm pale and blind
Water too familiar, too wet
Slower than the tide
I've fallen back on it

I may hide in the coral
Undersea one more night
Going deeper tomorrow
Shed my wings, learn to fall

Breathing water, getting old
I long for legs, arms to hold
My blood is cold, habit like a net
Everyday I race the tide
With every burning breath
Closer I get
To falling back on it

All my life
I'm floating, unknowing
That I will evolve
