Waves Lyrics

My ego keeps me grounded

So I don't slip below

All the hurt you've caused is nothing

If I don't let it show

And if you see me smile

Hiding scars beneath my skin

Don't come too close cause I can't cope

Enough to let you in

I gave up my experience

To put this down in verse

The lies we told are all I hold

To separate my from this curse

What are you waiting for?

When all we used to hold so dear

Has fallen to the floor

This heaving room is empty

If I can't see your face

The noise is silence' empathy

Cause I can't hear your name

Mistakes we spoke are all I hold

To keep these lungs alive

The fire stoked, the bridges broke

To separate as we chose sides.

And I can't change the snake you are

Or time that's passed me by

So I'm left to lay awake

'Til voices in my head subside

No, I can't change the snake you are

Or turning of the tide

It's washed away the lies I wore

'Til I am all that's left inside.
