The Max Levine Ensemble - Tidal Wave lyrics

I wake up screaming and I'm hardly breathing And I can't believe it, the things that I'm dreaming The way that they're talking, tho it isn't shocking No, what hurts most of all is that I can't stop it And you can't deny that there's something wrong When I was born into a world with an atom bomb And I can't believe that even in my dreams I'd be feeling it end There's a great big tidal wave And you can tell who you want, but you're not gonna be saved And I can't believe this is happening for real Colder and colder, your head on my shoulder Should I do what I'm told? Just wanna live till I'm older Hands in my pocket, and a head like a rocket Should I do what I'm told, or should I just f** it? And I can't believe they'd create a device To make it easier to take other people's lives And I can't believe it'd even cross their minds It never crossed my mind, it never crossed my mind With no regard for human life It's our principals that we sacrifice And when it's "us vs. them" when will you realize That everyday it's getting colder and colder And if you can say that you can fight to win Well then you're wrong again, well then you're wrong again And if you can say that there's a means to an end Well then you're wrong again, that's just where it begins I've got my mind set on not dying It's getting cold, but I'm still trying If I do what I'm told, well then I'd be lying And I can't pretend
