David Wirsig Stormsong
When the storm comes, we will hide inside our homes
But the wood and drywall won't keep us shelter from the cold
(it sinks into the bone, it never lets you go)
When the clouds fall, will you be afraid to speak?
'cause only God knows of what secrets we will keep
The lives we'd one day lead, and sights we'll never see
When the water's ankle deep
We'll lay our burdens down and sleep
But when we wake, a lightning's flash will break
It illuminates our triumphs and mistakes
The only one who knows our final resting place
Will lay our plans to waste
In the reckoning of days
