Into The Waves - Attrition

The light flickers for a moment

Then dies

A heart sings for an instant

Then cries

A restless emotion

Down by the waves

Licking your wounds

And finding salvation

Someone is laughing

They’re talking sense

Give up my head

For dead, I meant

Flowers are crushed

By heavy hands

Innocence is often planned

This way

Into the waves

Into the waves, my braves

Look at yourself

It triggers, then falls away

Mercenary for a day

Someone set my mind on fire

Cursing love and then retire

Clip the wings off some’s smile

Hands to heads and getting higher

Did you realise

The depth, I wonder

Wading in but going under

Waves of emotion

Waves of contempt

Waves of another

Who heard what I said
