The Divide Lyrics

I row alone all night

The spangled dome my guide

The waters tranquil, black and fathomless

I've explored this chasm countless times before

And I'll do it more I guess

My only cargo is my oar

No vest

No rest until I reach the shore

My joints are sore but I'll endure

I cross the divide

I flap my wings to stoke the flames

I poke the bear

I stroke the mane

Invoke the profane while I cradle the sacred

I face my foe unarmed and naked

I lay with ladybugs, worms and aphids,

lay an egg to break it

I lick the pavement

I foot no bill, and accept no payment

You want what's mine

I beg you, take it

I'm off with the tide

Aloft in the night

Tossing the fight

Hobbling time

Gobbling light

Pardoning crimes

Fondling slime

Star-crossed and resigned,

And the cost is the mind

I'm lost, and it's fine

Fostering vines to the top of the climb

Hopping a flight

Disrupting the line

I cut all my ties

I suck up my pride

I cross the divide
