Cascadia waving back

Hello Madras, ready to meet you
Got no papers, still believe you
You should see this - lights forever
Could have stopped, but we knew better

Powerful people. I’ll just say it
Rules but no rules, we all fake it
Ready to witness. Are you seeing this?
Got no regrets, that’s your weakness

Let’s be honest, they had problems
Fell behind, so we forgot them
Holding out for something better
If it comes, I wonder

Cascadia waving back at us from under the Pacific
Good to know you so long. When this wave comes, we will be caught up in it
I’m ready to meet you. Rules but no rules. If it comes I wonder when
Lights forever. Are you seeing this? On and on until the end

Something’s off. I cannot place it
Old ideas, all so faded
Faith in progress
Nature versus Brevity
Should I be nervous?
Let’s be honest, they had problems
Fell behind so we forgot them
Holding out for something better
Will it come, I wonder
