Testo Dimly Lit Shoreline

we reached the boards, put the car in park

walked until the earth turned into rock

with all we planned, with everything we feared

we're off the map, there be monsters here


why won't you swim?



with the moon gone, with eyes that can't adjust

we held our ground where the earth dropped off

some driftwood on the shoreline in the dark

wondering how we got to where we are


why won't you swim?

I'm sunk, too, but why won't you swim?



you can be sure it started with a grain

on another grain again and again

and through the years a divide appeared

now there's sand everywhere



why won't you swim?

I want to, but why won't you swim?
