Columns - Portage

And I see

You’re a child at the wheel

Turning farther than you need

Drifting into a shallow reef

Care for the son upon your knee

And the things you cannot see

They pass in through

Your twisted teeth

Will you grin and lift your head

Let the columns fall instead

Follow light instead of pain

We will never feel the same

And the ocean on your tongue

Is the salt within your lungs

Exiting the far-away

Make sure it’s going to stay

See

You’re a soon-to-sway balloon

Broken bottles left at noon

Let your breath take itself away

And don’t

Leave your message in a song

Take all the words right along

In your closest park and dream

Will you grin and lift your head

Let the columns fall instead

Follow light instead of pain

We will never feel the same

And the ocean on your tongue

Is the salt within your lungs

Exiting the far-away

Make sure it’s going to stay

Will you grin and lift your head

Let the columns fall instead

Follow light instead of pain

We will never feel the same
