Tidal Wave

It's not the barnacles that do all the damage

Figure this out too late

It's not the destination that makes the difference

It's the freight

Everything becomes a blur from six feet away

Get used to this

Every card ever turned over remains in place

Get used to this

Not every wave is a tidal wave

Not every wave is a tidal wave

It's not the mutiny that gets written down in the diary

It's the manifest

Forgotten cargo in obsolete measurements

Anybody's guess

Even the proud, even the very proud

Probably die on their knees

Twin masts out on the open seas

Mistaken for trees

Not every wave is a tidal wave

Not every wave is a tidal wave
