[Verse 1]
Said, "In truth, I don't really want to talk about it"
Christmas lights dangled sadly from the table in the operating room
Last I heard, you're an addict about it, full of rage and Corona
Trying to blow the birthday kid candles out
Trap doors and the retaliator lead out to the field
Where our extended family buried their lies
If you're going, bring some faith and a flashlight
Follow signs that read "It's twenty miles before you finally see fire"
(You may be paying too much for your life insurance policy)
Now there's something to say for the art of confusion
I got the courage to inquire where your body traveled all of the time
"I gotta climb out of this elevator, hadn't moved me once yet
Do I expect that it should really start now?"
The waitress oversees you levitating
Couldn't think it to words and watched your body lift up into the sky
Everyone there was just in awe about it
Seen a miracle and drank away the thought from our minds
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There was you and me and nothing in-between
It's right and wrong, goes on and on and on
[Chorus]
This is the wave that you could never conquer
Losing the smallest piece of truth we used to know
I wasn't prepared to embark with the wolf of the mountain
It wasn't a place that we could call our own
Said, "In truth, I don't really want to talk about it"
Christmas lights dangled sadly from the table in the operating room
Last I heard, you're an addict about it, full of rage and Corona
Trying to blow the birthday kid candles out
Trap doors and the retaliator lead out to the field
Where our extended family buried their lies
If you're going, bring some faith and a flashlight
Follow signs that read "It's twenty miles before you finally see fire"
(You may be paying too much for your life insurance policy)
Now there's something to say for the art of confusion
I got the courage to inquire where your body traveled all of the time
"I gotta climb out of this elevator, hadn't moved me once yet
Do I expect that it should really start now?"
The waitress oversees you levitating
Couldn't think it to words and watched your body lift up into the sky
Everyone there was just in awe about it
Seen a miracle and drank away the thought from our minds
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There was you and me and nothing in-between
It's right and wrong, goes on and on and on
[Chorus]
This is the wave that you could never conquer
Losing the smallest piece of truth we used to know
I wasn't prepared to embark with the wolf of the mountain
It wasn't a place that we could call our own
