lyrics

We Are the Waves That Carry the Ocean

I don’t wanna be a burden for you
But I want to show you something
This is what it looks like to lose everyone
The feel of cutting to the bone

We’re deadbeat
Brothers
We’re deadbeat
Sisters
We’re all drowning
In their slump
We were one
Brothers
Are we one?
Sisters
We are the waves
That carry the ocean

Sleeping bags turn into freezer bags tonight
When winter comes they turn to body bags
Goddamn you don’t see us, only feces in your street
When the bubble bursts you’ll end up here with us

We’re deadbeat
Brothers
We’re deadbeat
Sisters
We’re all drowning
In their slump
We were one
Brothers
Are we one?
Sisters
We are the waves
That carry the ocean
