Ruckus - LooM

Jump in, the water’s fine

The dry land has lied

So afraid of never coming up, again

When the water chills, just keep swimming

The sun fails our skin

We’ll warm ourselves kinetically… and never fail

Give us chances to not only survive

But to take on the world by surprise, by surprise

Let us take in more than our eyes can find

Facing everything that defines us, give us time

Holding our breath only keeps us afloat

Dive down headfirst, struggle, and let go

Explosions that we incite reopen the cold, dark sky

Where action and coincidence collide

All tangled now with relief

We reach a shore worth treading in. Deeper, deeper we sink

Trade the faces which we wear, to run free

Knowing only ourselves

We leave the poison skies and live much darker lives

Let’s continue unscathed and full of wonder, but overwhelmed

There is no glass beneath us;

to bleed our heels, a ruckus
