Nova Loka

Heat lines climbing on the graph again
Storms draw circles where the coast has been
Models whisper what the world could be
Futures branching like a fractal sea
Ice sheets cracking in a distant zone
But the tremor hits us close to home
Every number is a pulse we feel
Every decade turning more unreal
Tell me what we say
When the sky won’t stay
Tell me what we gain
When the old maps fail
Graph again
Graph again
We keep watching line by line
Oh
Graph again
Graph again
And the warning stays alive
Oh
Dockside nets with the salt
Burn through
Farm rows leaning in a drought
That grew
Kids ask why the river
Lost its song
Why do summer days feel
Twice as long?
Sirens cut through a
Sleeping block
Sand in the gutters
Rain on the dock
Every forecast
Lands like glass
Try to name
What’s coming fast
Tell me what we say
When the sky won’t stay
Tell me what we gain
When the old maps fail
Graph again
Graph again
We keep watching line by line
Oh
Graph again
Graph again
And the warning stays alive
Oh
Graph again
Graph again
Can you feel the world unwind
Oh
Graph again
Graph again
Close to home
This time
Dockside nets with the salt
Burn through
Farm rows leaning in a drought
That grew
Kids ask why the river
Lost its song
Why do summer days feel
Twice as long?
Sirens cut through a
Sleeping block
Sand in the gutters
Rain on the dock
Every forecast
Lands like glass
Try to name
What’s coming fast
Tell me what we say
When the sky won’t stay
Tell me what we gain
When the old maps fail
Graph again
Graph again
We keep watching line by line
Oh
Graph again
Graph again
And the warning stays alive
Oh
Graph again
Graph again
Can you feel the world unwind
Oh
Graph again
Graph again
Close to home
This time

If the future
Comes in waves
Let us stand and face it
If the coldest truth is change
Let us say its name and brace it
Graph again
Graph again
We keep watching line by line
Oh
Graph again
Graph again
And the warning stays alive
Graph again
Graph again
Can you feel the world unwind
Oh
Graph again
Graph again
Close to home this time
