Tidal Wave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can see it in your eyes
See it in your face
Banging on your chest
Acting tough looking unfazed
Tripping over landlines
Cutting deep with a dull blade
Running out of unrest
Goin' out of your mind
Lonely days will follow
Days will follow
And the gangs that stalk
The halls will know your name
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
(Aftershock, aftershock)
(Triggered by the aftershock)
I can see it with my own eyes
It tracks down your face
It can't be easy tryna unwind
Sleepin' on your day dreams
I'm not trying to role play
But these days can break
I'll take the wheel
These days can break
But I'm gonna take the wheel
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
(Aftershock, aftershock)
(Triggered by the aftershock)
Bet on the winners
Wasted youth born to lose
Bed with no dinner
Wasted youth born to lose
Better than zero
Wasted youth born to lose
Bet on the winners
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
Hit me like a tidal wave
Triggered by the aftershock
(Aftershock, aftershock)
(Triggered by the aftershock)
