lyrics

“Transitions” by Potion Cafe

We… we have become what you could not foresee,
severed and stationary.
We have perceived the signs and have come to realize
we’re surrounded by dead canaries.

Maybe we can try acting civil now,
as one thing flows right into the other,
before you can realize that anything has changed.

We have come to a verdict knowing there is no turning back,
no rewinding, no chance to reenact.
We stand against the future with even-tempered souls,
reshaped, recast through countless molds.

Maybe we can try acting civil now,
as one thing crumbles before the other.
(Accept that it’s gone.) Everything changes.
(Accept that we’re done.) Nothing lasts.

We will move on, turn against the wind.
We will move on, even if we capsize the ship.
Salvage the children’s remains,
or bury them under the waves.

There was nothing to say
when we brought you to shore,
save an empty farewell,
and then we set sail once more,
into the storm.

Maybe we don't ever have to speak again.

We will move on, turn against the wind.
We will move on, even if we capsize the ship.
Salvage the children’s remains,
or bury them.
