We are sands astride and in the tides Waters which tare us from both sides Passion and fury Duty and honor Pushes us in And pull us out Love to hate Pushes us in And pulls us out The desire for domesticity And the desire to be free Pushes us in And pulls out Till we are bludgeoned By the flotsam Tangled in the terrible debris Battered by the violent sea No more you than I am me And I wish I had the gills to breath Before those tides overwhelm me

The Tides
We are sands astride and in the tides Waters which tare us from both sides Passion and fury Duty and honor Pushes us in And pull us out Love to hate Pushes us in And pulls us out The desire for domesticity And the desire to be free Pushes us in And pulls out Till we are bludgeoned By the flotsam Tangled in the terrible debris Battered by the violent sea No more you than I am me And I wish I had the gills to breath Before those tides overwhelm me
