Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can see it in your eyes

See it in your face

Bangin' on your chest

Actin' tough, looking unfazed

Trippin' over landlines

Cuttin' deep with a dull blade

Runnin' out of unrest

Goin' out of your mind

[PreChorus]

Lonely days will follow

Days will follow

And the gangs that stalk the halls will know your name

[Chorus]

Hit me like a tidal wave

Triggered by the aftershock

Hit me like a tidal wave

Triggered by the aftershock

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Hit me like a tidal wave

Triggered by the aftershock

The aftershock

The aftershock

Triggered by the aftershock

[Verse 2]

I can see it with my own eyes

It tracks down your face

It can't be easy tryna unwind

Sleepin' on your daydreams

I'm not trying to role play

But these days can break, I'll take the wheel

These days can break, but I'm gonna take the wheel

[Chorus]

Hit me like a tidal wave

Triggered by the aftershock

Hit me like a tidal wave

Triggered by the aftershock

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Hit me like a tidal wave

Triggered by the aftershock

The aftershock

The aftershock

Triggered by the aftershock

[Bridge]

Bet on the winners

Wasted youth born to lose

Bed with no dinner

Wasted youth born to lose

Better than zero

Wasted youth born to lose

Bet on the winners

[Chorus]

Hit me like a tidal wave

Triggered by the aftershock

Hit me like a tidal wave

Triggered by the aftershock

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Hit me like a tidal wave

Triggered by the aftershock

The aftershock

The aftershock

The aftershock
