I can hear the clouds
they sizzle with electricity
they float but drag down
too much for them to see

between clouds and the water
a man hitting his wife
a lie to be spoken
a child left behind
it's bigger than the ocean
between clouds and the water
all the crying children
hearts are broken
the water spilling down
ready to fill the ocean
between clouds and the water
tears ready to fall
to crack a soul open
water running down
they're filling the ocean
