The Waves Have Come
Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics

The pain forms a circle with a light at the center
The pain feels cyclic in nature and is all-consuming, like a bright light at the center of one's being.

I can see it from here the end is coming
The end of something is nearing, and it is becoming visible, even from afar.

And all the wait, it was for nothing
All the waiting and anticipation led to nothing.

I covered you in royal jelly
I protected and nourished you.

I made you queen and you forgave me
I elevated you to royalty, and you forgave me for my mistakes.

We'll be given the world in the right time
Success and prosperity will come to us at the right moment.

But we made our own and left it empty
We had the power to create our own world, but we failed to utilize it.

This will be ours
We have the capability to seize control.

'cause we're the concept
We are the driving force behind our own destiny.

And we're the flawed
We are imperfect, and our weaknesses may hinder our progress.

And we're the answer
We hold the solution to our own problems and challenges.

You said to me it won't be long now
You told me that the end was coming quickly.

You'll leave the world and you will join me here
You will depart from this world and join me in the afterlife.

My flesh is afraid but I am not
My physical body is fearful, but I, as a person, am not.

Cause love now is only the pain of needing
Love is painful because it creates a sense of desperation and longing.

They took your smell, they took your shadow
Everything that once defined you has been taken away.

And i'm searching through faces for someone familiar
I am trying to find someone who reminds me of you.

I clawed and I clawed but I couldn't find you there
I searched desperately for your presence, but I could not locate you.

You wouldn't wake I couldn't sleep for years
You would not wake up, and I suffered from insomnia for a long time.

And we're the stars
We are significant and important like the stars.

It won't be long now
The end is quickly approaching.

It will be ours
We have the power to claim our own destiny.

Creation was the only word that made you feel
Creating something was the only thing that gave you a sense of purpose.

You never were an endless hope
You were never a continual source of hope and inspiration.

Is all it was and holding sacred all were and don't forsake the way we were
Our past experiences and memories are essential to our spiritual well-being.

And don't tell me you never would
Do not deny that you would do something.

And we don't need physical things to make us feel
We do not require material possessions to experience fulfillment or joy.

And make us dream when earth cracks open
One's imagination can flourish even in times of chaos or crisis.

And swallows then we'll never be tired again
If we remain optimistic and hopeful, we will never lose our sense of drive and ambition.

And we'll be given everything the moment we realize we're not in control
Once we recognize that we cannot control every aspect of our lives, everything we desire will come.

And all you know gets older when the sun goes down
Everything you know can begin to feel antiquated when faced with the end of a cycle.

And everything begins to fade away the waves have come
As the end approaches, everything begins to dissolve and disappear, like waves coming to shore.
