Rogue Waves

(album: Jumpstart Hope - 2020)

Don't waste away, don't waste away
Don't waste the way you did yesterday
Focus the pain of yesterday
But just not today, make the pain go away
Don't waste away, don't waste away
Don't waste the way you did yesterday
Focus the pain of history
But murder the mystery, resting pace

And I've never told anybody this before
I'll never settle for land, for sure I'll never swim for shore
And my heart's a seasoned ghost of my mind's civil war
I'll never settle for land, for sure I'll never swim for shore

I've been hiding in loneliness, loneliness
The anxiety is InMe
And I know it was all my fault the loneliness, my loneliness
Ocean help me drown, consume me

I'm slipping the mooring
I'm leaving the harbour
I'm all out of pain to give
I've been waiting for a rogue wave
I've been praying for a rogue wave

I've been swimming in memory, memory
Ocean help me drown, consume me

I'm slipping the mooring
I'm leaving the harbour
I'm all out of pain to give
I've been waiting for a rogue wave
I've been praying for a rogue wave

I'm slipping the mooring
I'm leaving the harbour
I'm all out of pain to give
I've been waiting for a rogue wave
I've been praying for a rogue wave
I've been praying for a rogue wave

Don't waste away, don't waste away
Don't waste the way you did yesterday
Focus the pain of yesterday
But just not today, make the pain go away
Don't waste away, don't waste away
Don't waste the way you did yesterday
Focus the pain of history
But murder the mystery, adjourn the case

And I've never told anybody this before
I'll never settle for land, for sure I'll never swim for shore
And my heart's a seasoned ghost of my mind's civil war
I'll never settle for land, for sure I'll never swim for shore

I've been hiding in the shadows
Blacked out all the windows and boarded up the doors
Shying from the shining sun
Because I've been burnt before
I've been making all these dreams all go to waste
I've been making all these dreams all go to waste

Don't waste away, don't waste away
Don't waste the way you did yesterday
Focus the pain of yesterday
But just not today, make the pain go away
Don't waste away, don't waste away
Don't waste the way you did yesterday
Focus the pain of yesterday
But just not today, make the pain go away
