Wave - Donovan Wolfington

You ride slow

You don’t know anything

I see you now I feel I should go

You know I know, you can’t fool me

Eyes open, I see clearly

It’s the weight of the times that is plaguing my mind

Its ironic because history always repeats itself

It’s the wasteful cold wars, debt filled black holes

Keep aching a burning the holes in your pockets

It’s all looks enraging and planned out but I can’t

Feel anything

Lately I’m trying I’m sorry I’m lying

It’s all just a front to keep you all from talking to me

About questions you would ask

But the answers reside in the past

It’s a headache that awaits me

It’s a wave that breaks every single day

And I hope that you brace yourself for the things you’ll feel

And the way it swells

Cause it’s hard to hear or say anything

When the surface seems non existent

All your friends got new pets

Now they know just how the world ends

Hold your feet

It’s hard to breathe

When the water rising surrounds all you see

Bite your tongue

Grit your teeth

Freedoms coming

Just you wait and see

It’s a wave that consumes your face

And chokes you til you feel okay

And I hope that you brace yourself

For all the ways you’re knocked around
