In Between

How can we disrespect our ocean
Crashing through the waves of each emotion
And if we never make it far
Things really shouldn't be this hard


Because blue should be blue
Green should be green
When I say it's orange
You call it something in between


Red should always be red
Black is never white
But when I point to purple
We never get it right


How can we disrespect the mountains
All this vacant memory
Throwing coins at endless fountains
If that's the way it has to be
