After the Retreat

Incompleted rhythms of the heart killing my soul

Incompleted visionary forms taking control

Resisting all attempts to build control around here

Resisting all decisions, making it so cold around here

And sooner or later the tides will be back here

Returning forever and changing everything

Now that all the good islands have sunk down

Into the ocean, we're deeper than you know

Communication breaks down, words escape as I speak

Communication brings the whole world down on its knees

Resisting all attempts to build control around here

Resisting all decisions, making it so cold around here

And sooner or later the tides will be back here

Returning forever and changing everything

And now that all the good islands have sunk down

Into the ocean, we're deeper than you know

It's all you must deliver, ah

It's all you must deliver, ah

It's all you must deliver, ah

When they retreat, will you come back?

I ask of you no more than that

When they retreat, will you come back?

I ask of you no more than that

And I would center all the plans

Be stronger than a man

And slow the whole thing down

And build a better land

And do it all with you
