Islands - Zola Blood

Islands

Held together, only by accident

Water cuts around us

And we are solid set

Interknit

Sinking in

While you’re leaning out in your chemistry

Losing all your thoughts and your memories

Take another hour, let the weather pass

It’s changing with the tide, like it always has

Rip currents surround me

To the rhyme of our melody

It’s carving out our shape

As the waves are coming in

Silence

The dawn tide

Closes around us

A steady hand to calm the sand

And divide us

In birdsong

Fading up

While you’re leaning out in your chemistry

Losing all your thoughts and your memories

Take another hour, let the weather pass

It’s changing with the tide, like it always has

Rip currents surround me

To the rhyme of our melody

It’s carving out our shape

As the waves are coming in

Caught

The daylight in the bloom

And the sun gets in your eyes

The sun gets in your eyes

Come

The daylight in the bloom

And the sun gets in your eyes

The sun gets in your eyes
