Waves

You can’t see it in the daylight

It only comes out in the night time

After the whiskey and the red wine

Starts to drown my soul

I get lit and light another

So many things I want to smother

But then I think about my mother

And breaking her heart makes me choke

Feels like I’m walking on a tightrope

Lord help me through the unknown

Catching smoke with a lasso

I’m digging my own grave

I’m just trying not to let go

Hanging on to my last hope

Against the pulling of a black hole

It comes and goes in waves

I just want to be a good man

I just want to be a good friend

Lord, I’m doing the best I can

Feels like I’m barely getting by

I hope you know I love you

I hope you’ll always love me too

I done the best that I know how to do

I pray I’ll get there with some time

Feels like I’m walking on a tightrope

Lord help me through the unknown

Catching smoke with a lasso

I’m digging my own grave

I’m just trying not to let go

Hanging on to my last hope

Against the pulling of a black hole

It comes and goes in waves

Baptized by fire

Live by the gun

Haunted by ghosts of the wrong that I’ve done

Hung out to dry

Washed by the blood

End of the line

I got nowhere to run

Feels like I’m walking on a tightrope

Lord help me through the unknown

Catching smoke with a lasso

I’m digging my own grave

I been trying not to let go

Hanging on to my last hope

Against the pulling of a black hole

It comes and goes in waves
