The Tides

You were the gambler

And the jailer

Weren’t you?

Now you’re back and

You’ve forgotten

That I grew


Your a snake in

A mouse trap

And I’ve slipped off

Of your lap


So it happens

All your nightmares

They came true


You want my help now

There’s no helping you now

Who’s the child that’s

Crying for their mama now?

So tell me are you proud

Put your heart on the ground

I’m louder than you ever were

Hear my sound

You threw my head on the floor

Now you’re hungry for more

But you used your last chance

When you called me a wh**e

Now that all’s said and done

I’m the one having fun

You still think you’re the leader

Oh run baby run


I was weak then

And you knew it

Didn’t you?

I surrendered

You still kicked me

Say it’s true


You stabbed yourself in

Your own back

You blew up your

Own train track


How do you feel now

That you’re kissing

My shoes?
