Wave

Sand strewn around the messy blues dogging up the hues
Of my memory

I banked the fever, killed the man, steady hand
I got it all in January

Trials waxed, comeback
Then I had a heart attack

So afraid, it had no name, but it lurked
Lurked in the doorway

But still, still
I'm okay

Yeah, it stalks the shades, and the escapades, and the nights
When I wanna give up everything

And the leaves turned red, I swallowed lead
Poisoned just to feel like I'm an enemy

So I wrote a song and called it art
Soon I'll be a marble statue

But still, still
I'm okay

Still, still,
I'm okay

And my guitar
Passed from those who paved the way

When the leaves blow away and our lives are okay
I'll dig my toes into the yellow sand

I'll wash my face and every grain of salt
I'll take with the palm with the hand

I looked up to the sky and fell
And bubbles bubbles were all I could breathe

And I saw my life like a picture book
Spread across a table somewhere far away

I lifted all I could and felt the water coat my shoulders
I was carried by the waves

Still, still
I'm okay

Still, still,
I'm okay

Unscathed
I coughed up all the pain

'Cause still, still,
I drowned and I woke up okay
