[Verse]
The paddle dips so soft and slow
Ripples dance where the lilies grow
A loon cries out
Its echo fades
The sky above in pastel shades
[Chorus]
But the world goes boom boom
As I float
So still
The air turns to fire
Yet the lake won't spill
Boom boom
And I keep my glide
The end of it all
But the lake won't hide
[Verse 2]
Ash falls like snow on my sleeve
The trees bow low
Their branches grieve
Gunfire snaps like breaking bone
Yet here I drift
Completely alone
[Prechorus]
Is it strange
Is it right
To feel peace in this fight
[Chorus]
Boom boom
As the world burns bright
The lake hums a tune
Under blackened light
Boom boom
I just drift and stare
The end’s in the air
But I just don’t care
[Bridge]
Mushroom clouds like thunderheads
Paint the sky in bloody reds
But the water stays cool
As if it forgot the rules
