lyrics

Aliens -

We are the aliens
the ocean another reality
clumsily we reach out

Dive into earth’s embryonic embrace
this deadly element that nourishes and sustains
It could all be subducted
and one day will
the land is fluid and on the move

Nothing is fixed
land will be returned
life will be returned

Life sprang from the sea
maybe it’s time for it to go back
back to the deep

Water weighs eight pounds per gallon
at what depth will this all collapse

When the body fails under pressure
no longer rising for the surface
but sinking in search of the bottom
