Tidal Waves

So heres a note I left by the fireplace and ash

From all the notes that I had burned not long ago

It's great how severing all these ties can make things right

Or at least less wrong than they ever were before

The days I'd sit pensive by the window and I could taste

The awful flavor 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 bible verses and b******t lies

They 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

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

And 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

This world is a pitiless whore

And he's still playing favorites and behind on his child support

So where do we go from here now

So where do we go from here now

The noose that we wear doesn't matter at all

Unless we kick out our feet

And perhaps our salvation is to know that we're 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 no no

So where do we go from here now

So where do we go from here now

So where do we go from here now

So where do we go from here now
