Landshark and the seahorse
We are by this common trauma-bound
And it pulls us like a G-force, both together and apart
I’m a landshark, you’re a seahorse
There is recourse to some common ground
There are landmarks on the seafloor
There are blueprints in the heart

Sorry, I can be, can be too circuitous
But the truth, but the truth isn’t far
Don’t you want, don’t you want the two of us
To be true to what we are?
Landlocked, I am landlocked
With the sea and the sky in my brain
Like alien crosstalk
And the chatter grows louder, louder every day

Landshark and the seahorse
We are by this common trauma-bound
And it pulls us like a G-force, both together and apart
I’m a landshark, you’re a seahorse
There is recourse to some common ground
There are landmarks on the seafloor
There are blueprints in the heart

House arrest arrest with our progeny
Every day, every day is a game
Shall we manifest our misogyny
Shall we teach contempt and shame?
Solid, grades are solid
So their gender is fluid or gas or plasma
Does it matter?
Sure, not the state of matter,
But to state that they matter more

Landshark
I’m a Landshark, you’re a seahorse
We are by this common trauma-bound
And it pulls us like a G-force, both together and apart
I’m a landshark, you’re a seahorse
There is recourse to some common ground
There are landmarks on the seafloor
There are blueprints in the heart

I’m a landshark, you’re a seahorse
I can be, can be too circuitous
But the truth, but the truth isn’t far
I’m a landshark, you’re a seahorse
Don’t you want, don’t you want the two of us
To be true to what we are?
Landlocked, I am landlocked
With the sea and the sky in my brain
Like alien crosstalk
And the chatter grows louder, louder every day
