Ouidas' Rose

Do you see the water running down?
Do you see it rushing now?
Like the rising tide
Can you feel the wind sweep across the pains without a sound?
See the rising in the sky before its all to late?

Don't wash away on me now
Gather up your rocks and carry your own
You've grown to old to pass on now
Don't wash away on me now
oh I'm coming, I'm coming
oh I'm coming now

I'll crash into you like the rising tide
Won't slip away, wash away your sins
Got you by a thread
Head not the tail
Finally found what you've been searching
Here the whole time
But it was lost for words

Do you see the world before it all sets?
Do you sing along still with past regrets?
Can't find rest but no longer fight
The wars begun but its staged out of sight

Do you find the beauty in the broken ashes?
Long forgotten but still lasting
Do you still pretend when you are dying?
That you're still here breathing
Do you hold your breath?
At the sight of death
Do you go silent or break the mold?

Do you ever notice the treed and the grass?
Before they're all buried, before they turn green?
Do you see how the sky changes in view?
From morning to noon

Can you find the peace in it all?
Even when the storm is raging at you?
Found yourself in the eye
Yeah, you still ask "why?"

Locked away in
The tidal wave
Rushing on in
Trying to make its own way

Do you ever see all the parts of me?
That I try to hide behind the mask I'm in

Stuck in the part
Of the tidal wave
Losing myself
To the gathered time

Trying to break through all the tidal waves
Can't seem to swim gotta try to float
Currents too strong
But not enough
Too independent for my own good to sink

Trapped up in all these tidal waves
Crashed into you
Is this tidal wave
I tried to swim but I only float
Maybe God's telling me drop this war
I'm fighting with myself to the point of pain
What's the use to it?
Maybe there's no point?

All the waves come crashing down
Tsunami of waves reaching its port
All of the waves come crashing here
Tumbling down heading straight for me
I'm drowning in love of the rising tide
I'm unshaped for this kind of ride

Do you ever see the water fall?
Do you ever see a tear from is pool?
Nobody does yet somehow it doesn't fail
At some point every one can be frail

Don't wash away from
Got the storms tongue tied now
Do you ever see the waterfall cry?
Do you sing along to the lilies tears?
Wash away love
You can't wash away now
White as the frost and pure as the lily grows
The lilies of the field all dressed in snow
alongside in their row
