Endless Wave
Kamaya Painters Lyrics

Words get tangled on your tongue and you stumble on your feet
You struggle to speak and move normally when you miss somebody.

And everywhere you think you see them walking down the street
You imagine their presence and likeness around you wherever you go.

You tell yourself a hundred thousand times
You try to convince yourself that death is an inevitable reality.

Nobody ever lives forever so you give it one more try
Death is pervasive to every living thing, and yet you hope to get past your grief.

Every hurtful thing you ever said is ringing in your ear
You regret every unkind word you spoke to them, now inexorably painful.

And everything of beauty that you see only brings a tear
The memory of your relationship evokes melancholy even in the beautiful things around you.

You tell yourself everything will be alright
You seek solace in the hope that time will heal this wound.

Try to stand up strong and brave
You muster the courage necessary to endure this pain and come out stronger.

When all you want to do is lay down and die
You are consumed with grief and find little reason to carry on.

How long I've waited for an answer or a sign
You have waited anxiously and long for any indication of what to do.

Lonely and weary from this troubled task of trying
You feel isolated and exhausted from trying so hard to cope with the loss.

So now you start to recognize that every single path you see
You come to realize that every direction you turn only reminds you of your sadness.

Leads to a tear in your eye, so wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Every moment feels overwhelming as you struggle to let go and say goodbye to someone you loved.

Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
You try to say farewell amidst tears and sadness.
