Black Waves
I'm bummed again
I can't find my way out
I can't stay here
I can't stay here
Life get's rough
and I know it's hard to cope
We gotta hang strong
We gotta move on
Heavy hearts
turn towards hate
Lost and broken
this world's a dark place
We get bogged down
No foresight
Avoid the great light
Darkness around me
I'm in it, I'm not of it
Sailing on black waves
Oh captain, my captain!
Set my heart on fire
Strike a match, watch me burn
And we'll light the way
I can only control how I react
They're watching
they're always watching
My head and heart are
always in combat
I close my eyes
but I can't sleep
I found a purpose
and then I lost it
Accept the darkness
as a constant
My faith in you is
burning bright
Direction
in the night
Darkness around me
I'm in it, I'm not of it
Sailing on black waves
Oh captain, my captain!
Set my heart on fire
Strike a match, watch me burn
And we'll light the way
Let's go!
Darkness around me
I'm in it, I'm not of it
Sailing on black waves
Oh captain, my captain!
Set my heart on fire
Strike a match, watch me burn
And we'll light the way
I can't find my way out
I can't stay here
I can't stay here
Life get's rough
and I know it's hard to cope
We gotta hang strong
We gotta move on
Heavy hearts
turn towards hate
Lost and broken
this world's a dark place
We get bogged down
No foresight
Avoid the great light
Darkness around me
I'm in it, I'm not of it
Sailing on black waves
Oh captain, my captain!
Set my heart on fire
Strike a match, watch me burn
And we'll light the way
I can only control how I react
They're watching
they're always watching
My head and heart are
always in combat
I close my eyes
but I can't sleep
I found a purpose
and then I lost it
Accept the darkness
as a constant
My faith in you is
burning bright
Direction
in the night
Darkness around me
I'm in it, I'm not of it
Sailing on black waves
Oh captain, my captain!
Set my heart on fire
Strike a match, watch me burn
And we'll light the way
Let's go!
Darkness around me
I'm in it, I'm not of it
Sailing on black waves
Oh captain, my captain!
Set my heart on fire
Strike a match, watch me burn
And we'll light the way
