Take It to the Coast

from Kill It With Fire by Cause of Accident

/

lyrics

When we no longer fight a conflict of attrition
When we are crippled by the weight of malediction
We’ll find a way to put our cancer in remission
Mediate and aggregate the cause of our affliction

We’ll pen entire theories from a single notion
Take all that’s volatile and save it from implosion
We’ll take inertia and we’ll turn it into motion
We’ll find an island in the vastness of the ocean

We will mend this heartbreak
We will take it to the coast

Free from contagion now and everything it seizes
We’ll lay the stricken down and cure them of diseases
Culture a pathogen and watch as it increases
We’ll take paralysis and turn it to kinesis

We’ll settle rivalries and turn them to agreement
We’ll find the languishing and save them from bereavement
We’ll take insanity and turn it into reason
Agony and ecstasy and joy in every season

We’ll take a reservoir and turn it into wine
An elixir pulled from resin on the vine
We’ll take imprisonment and turn it into flight
We’ll wish our wasted days away, and we will make eternity of time

We will mend this heartbreak
We will take it to the coast

She sighed: “The beauty that I could bring to you…”
Out on the horizon now, her signal’s coming through
All this blood from a thousand cuts will be washed away

We’ll turn the hollowness of hunger into plenty
We’ll find the vacant and we’ll fill them when they’re empty
We’ll stand in triumph as the few become the many
We’ll find deliverance where once there wasn’t any

When all these elements combine into a lotion
We’ll take intelligence, divorce it from emotion
Take infidelity and turn it to devotion
Then finally we’ll have made it to the ocean

We’ll take a reservoir and turn it into wine
An elixir pulled from resin on the vine
We’ll find serenity where animus resides…

She carried the siren’s song
That’s been in the dark there for so long
She carried the siren’s song
A glimmer of hope to call upon
Now hear the voice of God…
