[Verse 1]
Light beams breaking through the ceiling
Adding to the instant feeling
Of wanting to hide in the shadows again for good
And half the time I don't understand
If I am asleep and still dreaming
Or if I'm awake
I just know that this thing infesting my chest
Wants to watch me break
[Chorus]
Cause it comes in waves
When I close my eyes
Take a deep breath and
Wait for the riptide
It will soon be over
But to my demise
It's an endless cycle
That repeats itself all the time
[Verse 2]
Light beams breaking through the ceiling
Adding to the instant feeling
Of wanting to get away from myself for good
And half the time I can't comprehend
What is happening
Or if what I am seeing is real
I wish I could be completely certain
About a single damn thing
[Chorus]
Cause it comes in waves
When I close my eyes
Take a deep breath and
Wait for the riptide
It will soon be over
But to my demise
It's an endless cycle
That repeats itself all the time
Cause it comes in waves
I close my eyes
Take a last breath
Before my back hits the wall tiles
This is bigger than me
And there's no place to hide
I need to find a way out
Or else it will swallow me alive
[Bridge]
And this is bigger than me
There's no place to hide
I need to find a way out
Or else I'll be swallowed alive
Cause it comes in waves
And when I close my eyes
I know that it will pass
At the cost of returning
Time after time
[Chorus]
Cause it comes in waves
When I close my eyes
Take a deep breath and
Wait for the riptide
It will soon be over
But to my demise
It's an endless cycle
That repeats itself all the time
Cause it comes in waves
I close my eyes
Take a last breath
Before my back hits the wall tiles
This is bigger than me
And there's no place to hide
I need to find a way out
Or else it will swallow me alive
[Outro]
I need to find a way out
Or else it will swallow me alive
(Why does it come in waves, it comes in waves)
I need to find a way out
Or else it will swallow me alive
(Why does it always come in waves, it comes in waves)
