Sea Is Rising - Omar Rodríguez-López

Time of the waiting and the careless missteps

Dark cadence is falling

Falling from the weight you’ve put on me

Caught in the cycle of giving up

The sea is rising over us

Or maybe you’ve gone so low

It seems there’s nowhere left to go

You can’t escape the cold score

And it almost seems amazing

So then you push it down

Just through the knee

To play the role that’s right for me

The sea is rising over us

Or maybe you’ve gone so low

It seems there’s nowhere left to go

What’s left in you has given way to

What’s in your heart

Could it be good for me

You want the truth

But now you see the necessary

The sea is rising over us

Or maybe you’ve gone so low

It seems there’s nowhere left to go

The proof is our distance

The sea is rising over us

Or maybe you’ve gone so low

It seems there’s nowhere left
