Joshua Edwards - Drift lyrics

I have heard the dogs barking, each to each, Beneath a stormy moon. They will survive Their masters, who are so caught up in speech They do not see the rising sea, but hive Instead in their low mistaken vantage, Where carbon rises up in plumes. I plan A leave of absence. I have seen footage Of violent waves bearing down on man Outside his very door. Lives come apart Like books when they get wet. The devil fell Compelled by love, undone because his heart Could not keep up with what it would compel. I have watched the water bring its cleavage To the shore. Departure starts my voyage.
