Waves

You can't see it in the daylight

It only comes out in the nighttime

When the whiskey and the red wine starts to drown my soul

I get a little light another

So many things I wanna smother

And then I think about my mother

Breaking her heart makes me choke

Feels like I'm walking on a tightrope

Lord, help me through the unknown

Catching smoke with a lasso

I'm digging my own grave

I'm just trying not to let go

Hanging on to my last hope

Against the pulling of a black hole

It comes and goes in waves

I just wanna be a good man

I just wanna be a good friend

Lord, I'm doing the best I can

Feels like I'm barely getting by

I hope you know I love you

I hope you'll always love me too

I done the best that I know how to do

I pray I get there with some time

Feels like I'm walking on a tightrope

Lord, help me through the unknown

Catching smoke with a lasso

I'm digging my own grave

I'm just trying not to let go

Hanging on to my last hope

It's the pulling of a black hole

It comes and goes in waves

Baptized by fire, lived by the gun

Haunted by ghosts of the wrong that I done

Hung out to dry, washed by the blood

End of the line, I got nowhere to run

Feels like I'm walking on a tightrope

Lord, help me through the unknown

Catching smoke with a lasso

I'm digging my own grave

I've been trying not to let go

Hanging on to my last hope

It's the pulling of a black hole

It comes and goes in waves
