Step XLIII Aerie

The sea is comforting the sky,
catching the tears he cries.
She pleads with him but he just drowns his eyes.
The wind has nowhere left to hide.
The breeze was taken from the sky.

The sky is blue but he can't dream.
(The wind has killed the breeze.)
He looked back and wondered what it meant to breath.
He hears the songs that she would sing.
The murdered breeze looks so serene.

We'll soon be swallowed by the sea.

Step XLII
Aquatic

The love that once pumped through your veins,
like blood, now falls like rain,
precipitates and pools at your feet,
and runs right back out to sea.

Run back and touch the shore.
Run back and feel the sea.
We're headed overboard
and now this ship just sinks.

So now I wait through winter;
wait for you to thaw.
...but you're frozen to the center
from all the blizzards that you've caused.

...but spring won't bring the sun.
April just holds rain.
The clouds won't come undone.
The weather never changed.

I've seen the way you hide
across the river.
You try to close your eyes
but your bodies shiver.
I've seen the way you lie
You try to close your eyes
but you won't sleep tonight.
