"We Are The Tide" lyrics

"We Are The Tide"

Our time is ever on the road,
The ride is in what we make.
I walked a year to hear a howl in this give and take.

Keep saying that it doesn't mean much.
Oh! But what do you see?

And everybody on the street is singing like it's Sunday.
But we keep inside and our looks stay at bay.

Ahhh, ahhh

And we don't know what's left,
But we feel it's coming back soon.
And so we're standing in the street
Staring at a blood-red moon.
We are the tide. (ahhh)
We are the tide, and none of us stay, (ahhh)
The day we're born 'till when we-
