Barely Seeing

It's bodies in boats that held out hope for something more
It's so hard to feel when it's so far away
How can we hope to grow if we only notice there's a war
When terrible things wash up on shore
We shouldn't have to take this anymore
Excuse this lack of faith, it's been a little while
Since I believed what i've read.
You like the lack of pace within the lifestyle
but you're too easily led
You think we're seeing it all
We're barely seeing at all
I get that it's easier to listen than to roar
but we're fighting a tidal wave of tragedy with apathy
And whole generations disappearing overboard
And burying heads, and building walls
Lord
And with this lack of faith - give it a little while
And don't believe all you've read
inject a bit of pace into your lifestyle
Sooner lead than be lead
You think we're seeing it all
We're barely seeing at all
It's bodies in boats

Shipping Lanes

i woke up in the shipping lanes
Cast adrift and floating free
I drag my fingers through the sea
And wait for what's ahead of me
With eyes as wise as oceans blue
And mind that's made of miracle
But hidden from your field of view
Are all the things they put on you
You've got another thing coming
If you think I'm going back again
You push me out and pull me in
And fuck the human consequence
The Southern Cross it smiles on me
But I don't need that sympathy
That condescending honestly
This world that's got it in for me
The trade winds plot a course for me
The breeze has got a hold of me
i drag my fingers through the sea
The nowhere else I have to be
