Tidal Waves

Tidal Waves

So here's a note that I left

by the fireplace and ash

from all the notes that

I've burned not long ago.

It's great how severing all these ties

can make things right

At least less wrong

than they ever were before.

The days I'd sit and sieve

by the window

I can taste the awful vapor of nostalgia

mixed with hurt

But now my mouth

my mouth is dry

I choke on logic and my tongue is tied

From reciting inspired, babble verses

and bullshit lies

You say that this world is a wide open road

and we're stuck holding the wheel

But in one hand's a whiskey

and the other's too drunk to steer

So where do we go from here?

And I...

So where do we go from here now?

I dance and pray

i dance and pray for rain

to wipe this Earth out once again

Extend those forty days and nights indefinitely

And there'll be tidal waves

as all of my problems wash away

You can hear my laughter just before I start to drown

And if everyone here is a child of God's,

this world is a pityless whore

And He's still playing favorites

and behind on his child support

So where do we go from here now?

Where do we go from here now?

So where, where do we go (where do we go) from here now? Now?

The noose that we wear doesn't matter at all

unless we kick out our feet

And perhaps our salvations to the Lord that were incomplete

So here's the note, the note that counts

explaining why I wanted out

It reads in small print

I'm much too tired to think anymore

And so, where do we go from here now?

So where do we go from here now? x4
