Stories of burning in the sun
fizzle out after a couple generations
Stories of salt filling our lungs
will outlast many civilizations
The sun burns quickly
like a brief moment of excitement
that wanes away while we search for
the next blazing hit
The sea pummels slowly
like a life of enduring and remiss
beating you down day after day wholly
until you sink into the abyss

Stories of burning in the sun

Stories of salt filling our lungs

The sun burns quickly
like a brief moment of excitement
that wanes away while we search for

The sea pummels slowly
like a life of enduring and remiss
beating you down day after day wholly
until you sink into the abyss
