When the dust swept underneath
Begins to settle
Lightly on the surface of your cheeks
Kicked up and violent
Searching for destruction
I will preserve the innocence that remains
I will harbor that light in your eyes
When the panic shocks your nerves
Blood cells start trembling
Squeeze my hand tighter
Lean your body closer
Calmness lies in the eye of the storm
These ropes have not yet torn
So continue to tie knots
Take advantage and absorb what remains
Before there’s nothing left to soak in.
Before the sun hides his face
In the shameful comfort of the clouds.
