The waves on the shore, can't be ignored
Soon they're all around you
The cavalry's failed, they've all gone
But you're holding on
Somehow is not what you asked for

Why do you cry in the morning
When the light is just forming
I know you think I'm just carrying on
But I've been where you're going
And it's not worth knowing
Burning the days and just carrying on

You search for the way, to harvest the pain
'Cause fallout is contagious
You’re in your head, no control of what you let go
Sometimes, it's not what you dreamed of

Why do you cry in the morning
When the light is just forming
I know you think I'm just carrying on
But I've been where you're going
And it's not worth knowing
Burning the days and just carrying on

And after all that you've forgotten
You still don't understand
You think the world broke it's promise
But it just slipped right through your hands
Tell me why do you cry in the morning
When the light is just forming
I know you think I'm just carrying on
But I've been where you're going
And it's not worth knowing
Burning the days and just carrying on

Oh carrying on

The waves on the shore
Can't be ignored
Soon they're all around you
