Axe In The Attic Lyrics

An axe in the attic

And a room in a tree

Easy protection from

The rising sea

I walk in the sand and I

Leave prints in my wake

Passing reminders of

A legacy break

Once in motion and

Twice devotion and

Thrice the ocean and

Four more to go

Coming nearer than

That broken mirror that

Makes it clearer than

You'll ever know

An axe in the attic and

A raft in my bed

Damocles ocean held

Held back by a thread

I look to the sea and I

Build bunkers to hide

Muted reminders that

We pass with the tide

Red for blood and it's

Blue for sky and it's

Black for extinction and

We all know why
