lyrics

Dreaming of the nights that lasted so long, felt like they’d never end
Afraid of missing out, I guess I’m going on no sleep again
Couldn’t tell if it was molly or the waves that made me roll
Thought I saw the face of god, turns out it’s just the undertow

Dancing so long that steam was rising off me in the summer rain
Thought I lost my friend when I found him again his eyes had changed
Says he saw the past, present, future in a rubber ball
He might have heard the word of god but it’s more likely it was just a joke

And I’m always fighting
That wave of time
If I could just learn to ride it
I might feel this good all the time

Kyle’s in the kitchen preaching life is nothing more than a cosmic joke
Why’d my heart start racing? Is it that I believe him, or did I take too big a dose
Gotta step outdoors ‘cause I can’t breathe inside
I’m uncomfortable but happy, life doesn’t always have to rhyme

Now I’m lighting up a cig ‘cause I’m starting to get anxious marching in the crowd
Keep an eye on those bridges ‘cause you know those fucking pigs wanna beat us down
Violence begets violence but sometimes you gotta let ‘em know
That the people got a voice but they also got sticks and stones

And these captains steered our ship
Where it’s sure to capsize
They’re too scared to right it
They’re afraid of what they left behind

And I’m always fighting
That wave of time
Someday it’s gonna swallow me
I know everything has to die
