Tidal Waves Lyrics - Singles - Matt Duke

So here's a note that I left 

by the fireplace and ash 

from all the notes that 

I've burned not long ago. 

It's great how severing all these ties 

can make things right 

At least less wrong 

than they ever were before. 

The days I'd sit and sieve 

by the window 

I can taste the awful vapor 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, babble verses 

and bullshit lies 

You 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? 

And I... 

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 

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's, 

this world is a pityless whore 

And He's still playing favorites 

and behind on his child support 

So where do we go from here now? 

Where do we go from here now? 

So where, where do we go (where do we go) from here now? Now? 

The noose that we wear doesn't matter at all 

unless we kick out our feet 

And perhaps our salvations to the Lord that were 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 

And so, where do we go from here now? 

So where do we go from here now? x4
