Wave Lyrics

Beneath the wreckage of an empty house

That burned down long ago

A fading ember lies, reminding us

Of all we've left to show for our progress

The heroes we forget

United in sickness, we march on alone

The time has come to separate

The martyr from the castaway

Step out of line, to disobey

And tell them: "get out of our way"

You had your chance and threw it all away for

This sick romance, and I won't take it anymore

Have one last dance, then get your poison off our floor

And let the ghost of all you've broken show you to the door

Canyons between us and blind to the reason

I heard someone crying, or was it just me

The life we spent, the blood we gave

It rides upon each breaking wave

Stand by the shore, and patiently

You'll watch as they drown in the sea

You had your chance and threw it all away for

This sick romance, and I won't take it anymore

Have one last dance, then get your poison off our floor

And let the ghost of all you've broken show you to the door

And after all the anger fades

We'll hear the call and go our separate ways

A last mistake, just one more day

Too much to take, but not enough to stay

You had your chance and threw it all away for

This sick romance, and I can't take it anymore

Have one last dance, then get your poison off our floor

And let the ghost of all you've broken show you to the door
