Tectonic Plates
By Tom Franz
V1
Tectonic plates make way to subduction
Mountains fall into the sea
Waves make sand from constant destruction
Is where you will find me
V2
I've walked these shores since I was a child
But only now do I see
Everything tumbles and everything crumbles
And so it will be with me
C
Let the breakers crash
and roll
Let the shadows run from it all
Let the fog rise
let the darkness fall
into my soul
V3
I want to drop in across the coastal range
I want to skim along the shore
I want to barrel the Milkyway
Until I am no more
C
B
My memories are bittersweet
But they are my own
Reality will soon impose
The angle of my repose
