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
