Calm down! We have seen all of this before
Normal stretches to fit all kinds of strange;
Water tells stories we learn to ignore
The muddy edge coaxes you into range
How buoyant are earnest apologies?
Sure, it's temporary, but it will hold
Save these soporific tautologies
"It is what it is" might float; man, it's cold!
Watch all of your spires and temples sink
The tide doesn't care about your new phone
What washes you can choke you in a blink
Even the emperor will drown alone
Go ahead! Test the patience of the sea
When the bridges are gone, where will we be?
