Tidal Waves

Flames In the eyes of those who stay In our hearts with our mistakes Blinds us from the righteous way Blinds us from the righteous way Rain In the mind of those in pain On the embers that remain Where theres power theres the shame Where theres power theres the shame Flooded thrones and dead cities Evil crown on our head Proud and strong the dead cities In the palm of your hand That's all You checked out of it all All good in a one-way alley That felt false to you that's all It took to build the breakdown wall Behind which only you could agree To check out from it all The end of the street caused the engine to stall Where the etiquette you used to carry suddenly Felt false to you that's all You answered while snowfalls Chilled your honesty into something nasty They hadnt checked out of it at all Was it a bad network crossing out every call And did the tea the bus story Feel false to you? Or was that all? Or nothing at all? Nothing to recall From your (and their) previous journey? Youd checked out from it all easily Erased it: This feels false to me that's all
