How time became the tide and turned again, again And washed onto a thousand beaches How time became the tide and touched and turned You touched and turned me, inside out! And a dryed out shell can never show The horrors that you bring to me in, deathtrap so fun! How time became the tide, each day you leave me standing still And still, the dried out shell And dragged into a careless life with nothing else to do Waves don't often mean their anger I can only wait so long I can only wait so long I can only wait so long So long, farewell How time became the tide, calm, it creeps, it slides, in yards each day So long, farewell How time became the tide, and when you're calm you miss me Angry, I stand to lose you How time became the tide, at time I bare the pain Waves don't often mean their anger
