[Verse 1]

Who would believe it?

I’m getting wise to my limit

And my memories, feel a bit cheated

There’s no solace in the uncertain life

I’m just a boy in the big shoulders

Who would imagine I

Could feel at home in a straitjacket?


[Chorus]

But I get that tidal weight

Like whoa

Like I’ve felt every night

Alone


[Verse 2]

I’ve been confused so I’ve come away

Unfamiliar

I don’t want to say who

But I’m hoping they’ll speak soon

'Cause I’m desperate to leave my

Unsoiled tomb


[Chorus]

And I get that tidal weight

Like whoa

Like I’ve felt every night

Alone

Can I be straight to myself? I say

I don’t know


[Verse 3]

I don’t wanna reach out

I don’t wanna

Can I breach the familiar mound?

I don’t wanna scare myself outright

Can I admit to myself at night?

Can I sleep more than a minute here?

Will I ever dream from my wounded heap?

Can I breathe without a pause

From all my tears that are hollow?


[Chorus]

And I get that tidal weight

Like whoa

Like I felt every night

Alone

Can I be straight to myself? I say

I don’t know

Or will I help myself?

Whoa

I don’t know
