Tidal Waves

Who are you
Coming in so close
So close you might scare me away
I think I know
Your face, your smell
The beat
Of your heart against mine

But oh, there’s no escape
Guess you’re here to stay
Goodbye to the day
I’ll hide in my dreams
Wrapped up in tidal waves

Oh, the night
Is your favorite time
All’s dark
And I’m breathing quiet
Then here you come
With your snake’s tongue
And on whatever you prey
I got some

But oh
Maybe I’m damned
To be sad
With monsters and men
‘Cause the places I’ve been
My dreams are awful bad

So, tonight
I’ll take my leave
Strike this bleeding heart from my sleeve
Drown me on
The ocean floor
When I choke on salt
I’ll beg for more

‘Cause oh
There’s no escape
Guess you’re here to stay
Goodbye to the day
I’ll hide in my dreams
Wrapped up in tidal wave
