Impatiently parading the shoreline Like waves persistently mimicking infantry I must seem lost at sea My feet resemble war heroes Dirtied by the summer soot Yet too proud to surrender Millions of tan granules have met my fleet But I'm too proud to surrender What happens when the storm hits? Comfortably crushing the paper mache blockades I installed throughout my days here The cozy road home is falling apart My opportunity to evacuate shrinks as the shoreline invades Yet I'm too proud to surrender Like a captain of a sinking ship I'm too proud to surrender

Surrender
Impatiently parading the shoreline Like waves persistently mimicking infantry I must seem lost at sea My feet resemble war heroes Dirtied by the summer soot Yet too proud to surrender Millions of tan granules have met my fleet But I'm too proud to surrender What happens when the storm hits? Comfortably crushing the paper mache blockades I installed throughout my days here The cozy road home is falling apart My opportunity to evacuate shrinks as the shoreline invades Yet I'm too proud to surrender Like a captain of a sinking ship I'm too proud to surrender
