Earthquake

from More Never by Nehedar

/

lyrics

When our fears need confirmation,
Natural disasters bring it.
Terrified to look behind us,
We're afraid of our own shadow
Stretching longer at each step.

Squatting on the curb since lights
went out all over town.

Walls, long silent, sway prophetic,
Girders twist with new-found voices,
Oracles of transformation,
Inarticulate predictors
Of our ever-changing state.

Squatting on the curb since lights
went out all over town.

Far below what was the surface,
Solid rock resolves to liquid.
Fountains of the deep break open,
Boiling rivers melt their boundaries
Spilling fire across the night.

Squatting on the curb since lights
went out all over town.

If we think we have possession,
Somehow, home & goods still vanish.
Treasures we grip to us tightly
One by one drop in the crevice
Growing wider at our feet.

Stars are so much brighter!
Power failure sharpens sight.

Curbside, looking up for what
will fall down on us next.
