Tidal Waves Lyrics

She was only a girl who had life to live

Compared to the other's in school

She was a little bit bigger but she was doing her best to fit in

And like a circus clown, she'd take the mocking things they said

Never told her parents 'bout the crazy shit

That was actually going through her messy head

And she left in grace, tryna find her way to the water

Hoping there was someone to stop her

But all she heard was tidal waves

And she went under till she drowned in vain

She got pulled away from the surface

The sweet escape from the hurting

Now all I hear is tidal waves and another one we've lost

He was a caring guy, he had the perfect grades

And twice a week, you would find him working hard at a local store

So he could pay his mother's bills

But the color of his skin was what he couldn't change

And that's when he started to obey the kids who kept on telling him

That he should leave, cause he was not from there

And he left in grace, tryna find his way to the water

Hoping there was someone to stop him

But all he heard was tidal waves and he went under till he drowned in vain

He got pulled away from the surface

The sweet escape from the hurting

Now all I hear is tidal waves and another one we've lost

How many more tragic stories are out there left to tell

Until a change will come

Before the damage is done

If only you would know how treating them well

Could save another son or a daughter on the run

So they wouldn't have left in grace as they found their way to the water

We would've been in time to stop them

Save them from a tidal wave that would take them under

Till they drowned in vain and got pulled away from the surface

The sweet escape from the hurting

Yet all I hear is tidal waves and another one we've lost
