Relinquish

To the house that we were told of Up the mountain to the ridge On the road a river flowing From the rains that flood the town All is wet and night is looming And our resting place uncertain And our resting place eluding Every step our legs are burning And the mud is ankle deep Every breath is taut with worry And our minds are fixed on sleep Are we stuck out in this jungle? Will we be caught out in the darkness Can we outpace this darkness? Relinquish All is danger Let it wash over All is love Through the leaves the light turns sideways Before it slides into the west And my headlamps green with acid Where the power cells have burst You hand me yours and all is light Taking turns in the light We take turns in the dark Days later on mototaxis We fly down the mountain Our drivers driving Here we are flying Trusting the hand on the gas Relinquish All is danger Let it wash over All is love
