Backwater Horizon
Come join me, on this backwater horizon
Where hearts, and eyes, sparkle like the sun
Come join me, in your indispensable significance
Backwater horizons don't need food
We feast on the clouds
Backwater horizons don't need water
We're satisfied with where the skyline meets the sea
Backwater horizons don't need sleep
We can stay awake forever
Backwater horizons...don't *need* anything
We'll never need you like you need us.
So let's reframe.
Backwater horizons don't need food
You learn to ignore the hunger
Backwater horizons don't need water
You're six feet under before you realize you're drowning
Backwater horizons don't need sleep
You can just keep going.
Backwater horizons don't need anything
Don't you miss being useful?
So come join me in your dispensable insignificance
Where self-destructing hearts, and eyes, glisten like the sun
Come join me, on this backwater horizon
