I never took things past where I relate
Only stepped inside the waterline just to wade
The sense is that I can drift away
Wish I could see the other side from the bank
Then the world crashed into me without a sound
Took out my knees and steadily held me down
And I learned how it felt to be afraid
It's hard to find some frame of mind between the waves
Our hands are holding stones, while the moon is moving tides
They're rising slow, covering our eyes
We lose control, as the currents take their time
In the dark below, until there's nothing left behind
And there's a animal inside ourselves we have to tame
Constantly we feed it things we can't explain
It all leads to nothing and then we're gone
So in spite of fear, there's lessons here we need to learn
I won't stop believing
The sun won't set 'til I'm done
Tell them now, I'm leaving
These waves weren't made to break us
