Sea Breeze Elevation

lyrics

sea breeze elevation

a grain of sand carried by the wind over a postcard worthy body. landing on the surface, waves all split. rise up to the sky, ultimately fall and crash down on a meditative shoreline inhabited by everything we were. reversing the effects of a low tide and turning the coastal scene into a blur. this easel is soaking up the downpour, nearly solidified into a sheet of ice. ripping through the canvas crafted by the outdoors. double take sunny days have you think twice. impossibilities existing in a lucid dream, shaken to reality splashing on the shore. hopscotch apocalypse, shoes on my feet. air in my lungs, what more could one ask for?

the violence of the current forms on the surface of the ocean floor. erupting and burning up the shore, it’s a picture perfect storm.

the whirling wind has us surrounded by mist transformed into a fog that comes as darkness brought by clouds in the sky. the black curtain that blocks out the sun. no last breath, nothing overhead but that big golden death that swallows us. falling up into that hole we ascend. every name, every face, every thought turns to dust. blowing away like a pile of ash. our existence is a mirror of nature. trudge through memory to survive the past, and the future’s only a matter of what we take there. a grain of sand carried by the wind of a pacific breeze over the bay. a beautiful disaster i can’t witness that all begins below the waves.
