Lyrics
You?re shell-shocked just beyond ground zero
Where everything moves in a listless blur
And you see only villains where there should be heroes
And you question every thing you knew for sure
And you don?t know what to do
But admire how the color is so blue?
Treading water in the wake of disaster
Tragic bystanders of all that comes after the flood
Treading water in the wake of disaster
We?re left with scabs and scars and all that comes after the blood
You?re paralyzed, where you are simply found dumb
And breathing is drowning with every gasp you swallow
And your wondering just where the tidal wave came from
As you begin to wade through the swells that follow
And you don?t know what to do
But admire how the color is so blue?
Treading water in the wake of disaster
Tragic bystanders of all that comes after the flood
Treading water in the wake of disaster
We?re left with scabs and scars and all that comes after the blood
And I simply refuse to drown
And I simply refuse to drown
And I simply refuse to drown
And I simply refuse to drown
Treading water in the wake of disaster
Tragic bystanders of all that comes after the flood
Treading water in the wake of disaster
We?re left with scabs and scars and all that comes after the blood
