Tides Rush In

The coast is clear.
The coast is everywhere.
I must have reached the end of the year
Of searching for meanings in meanings
The coast is clear.

Tides rush in
Are we all being tugged by the same needy(?) force
That tugged me in,
That tucks us in with a kiss on closed eyes.
It's something felt you can't describe
We've always tried, we've always tried.

Tides rush in.
___

For the chance encounter
With something godsend
The gods haven't sent me a thing yet,
And I know they never will.
This epiphany is just a cheap handjob I give myself
I give myself no credit for this,
This bastard attempt at standardized song
Is all I've got, and after years
Of searching for meanings in meanings

The coast is clear
Tides rush in, ___
