The Tide Began To Rise

I don't belong here

I never saw this on the path I walk

The blood-stained walls, the lines of chalk on the floor

It's getting so hard

I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise

I can't remember

The way it was when everything felt right

My mouth held shut and eyes sealed tight with control

So I remember on the inside

I found a dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore

Somehow, I won't stop feeding the pain

My heart's just the same as before

So now I'm stuck here

Between the guilty and the insincere

The words I spoke have left me here all alone

I should have known this

I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise

I wish it all gone

I could've burned it when I had that choice

And now I'd die to kill this noise in my head

So I remember on the inside

I found a dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore

Somehow, I won't stop feeding the pain

My heart's just the same as before

So I remember on the inside

If this is all the love my spirit can give

Just take it back tonight

There is not a reason more to live
