Oil Waves

from Parallels by The Organ Machines

lyrics

It was the very first summer
when you really got to know your friends;
We were all treading water
and coming up for air with the bends.
The black cloud horizon,
the rougher seas coming ahead;
and you just left.

It was the middle of the summer,
When the waves toppled over your friends;
We all saw it coming,
but you just had to lie and pretend.

It’s never how you knew it -
nobody looked at it that way but you.
Oh, we all saw ‘em drowning.

So open your doorstep
Hello, we’re here.
No, we're not.
Did you miss us when you left
reality? And is it brighter in your world?

It was the middle of the summer
when the waves toppled over your friends;
We all saw it coming,
but you just had to hide and pretend.

It’s never how you knew it -
nobody looked at it that way but you.
Oh, we all saw ‘em drowning,
but you were the one with the blood on your hands, singing
It’s never how you knew it,
nobody looked at it that way but you.
Oh, we all saw ‘em drowning.

It’s never how you knew it,
nobody looked at it that way but you.
Oh, we all saw ‘em drowning,
but you were the one with the blood on your hands, singing
I never the saw the water so clear,
but there’s a red oil spill laying over it still
and in the dead of the night I hope you hear those waves
and the sound it drives you insane.
