Downhill - North Atlantic Oscillation

This is what passes for silence

Jettison sense to keep afloat

If we had a diamond for each joke

We’d be broke, but we’d laugh

«Do no harm,» tattooed on

Water after peace flows still downhill

Closer to the void than to the spark

The sun-drenched park, what did it mean?

Now we’re past the point of no concern

Watch it burn, let it die

«Do no harm,» tattooed on

Water after peace flows still downhill

Now we’re more electric than the clouds

Feeding mouths with no face

When the last heart shudders once and stops

All these props will fall away …

«Do no harm,» tattooed on

Water after peace flows still downhill
