Paddle Out from EP5 by That's Science!

constructing a worldview anchored in sand
feelings can't be clutched in hand
fools' errands, when allowed, can rule unvigilant men
Truth is objective, empirically-known, no data means ethereal
an abundance of time unused might still not heal

and when the waters rise the lie is exposed

so back to the map navigation unknown
a sailor with unruddered boat
trial and error wastes time when solution is known
listen to mentors follow wise men, now this journey's path is known
waves will come but won't drown your airflow

with throats exposed we'll face violent unknown
paddle out
with eye on the horizon don't bail out

elemental forces pull you down toward Earth
too fast for thought is Nature's speed
you'll lean in hard trying to hold your course
sometimes when fought gravity concedes

paddle now
don't bail out
back to land and family
tilt eyes high
toward black sky
never kiss the ground

ascend
