High Tide

High Tide's coming in
I'm going out
To keep you in my arms
Hold you tight against these scars
That seem to keep me going on

As-a the days go by I'm watching the people struggle
Keeping their heads above the rubble
Hoping the clouds will drop their water down
Over the distance
Alive in this instance while I strive for my forgiveness
I'm the crime then you my witness
Now the tide has dried and shifted
The weight's been barely lifted
Seeing clearly now but in this picture I don't see you with me
Forget me
You quit me
Swiftly and so quickly
Threw me all away to watch me drive away on empty
You left me
Expecting me to fall back to my old ways secondly
I just can't find a way to reject or free this psycho deep inside of me
Girl violently you cry and scream
You're the noose 'round my neck I can barely breathe
You're alive in me
I got heart disease
Doctor says I got to leave

I'm following
Is there a way to escape from your servitude
Bound by my own refusal
And I know that in this life I struggle to extend the fight
But as I run I'm chasing time (Oh-ah-oh)
And they say there's all a reason why I try
There's high tide

High Tide's coming in
I'm going out
To keep you in my arms
Hold you tight against these scars
That seem to keep me going on

Don't you know
It's not a crime for us
To smoke what we grow
Don't you know
Don't you know

High Tide's coming in
I'm going out
To keep you in my arms
Hold you tight against these scars
That seem to keep me going on
Going on

You know there's no escaping what you know
Don't you know
There's High Tide
