51st State

Greetings from this island life

The time of year from which I'm writing this

You'd never know we're compromised

The cold grips the sand

Which falls through our hands

I can the feel the edge

Of Half a year spent wondering

"How'd it get so bad?"

How'd it get so bad

Through suffering I'm wondering

How'd it get so bad

I don't

I don't, Feel so

How'd it get so bad

Through suffering I'm wondering

How'd it get so bad

I don't

I don't

Feel so

Much of anything

Until half past spring

You're heaven sent

You're sweet relief

As the days grow long they speak to me

They never judge my grief

You help me find my peace

How'd it get so bad

Through suffering I'm wondering

How'd it get so bad

I don't

I don't

Feel so

How'd it get so bad

Through suffering I'm wondering

How'd it get so bad

I don't

I don't

Feel so

How'd it get so bad

Through suffering I'm wondering

How'd it get so bad

I don't

I don't

Feel so

How'd it get so bad

Through suffering I'm wondering

How'd it get so bad

I don't

I don't

Feel so

I'll watch it all just wash away

Watch it leave me

Watch it go

Heaven see me

See me take this by the throat

Let me feel

Let me be

Let me love

And let this life feel good enough
