[Verse 1]
I had my headphones in
I was half asleep
When the door flew open
And soaked my bedsheets
What the hell's happening?
Everyone's yelling
Man, there's chaos in the street
Rats scurrying across the tracks trampling over each other
Like chickens caged, dead meat
I look out my window, trees shaking, shell shocked, shackled up
Death row inmates, no escaping
I'm so close to the water man, gotta get away
Far, as fast as I can, grab a quick pack, a couple of snacks
Some warm clothes, caveman
No time for a getaway plan
[Chorus]
The earth starts shaking, the waves are breaking
It's every man for himself
Grab the shit that you need
Get away with your health
I can escape, I will not break
I will give everything it takes
Listen to me sing
Love is all I bring
[Verse 2]
I ran out the back like a panic attack
The wind bumping two hundred beats
Gotta make it up a couple of blocks before the water takes my feet
And I'm in way too fucking deep
Saw a little young pup, leash caught, soaking wet
Whimpering and getting weak
Do I stop now, try and get the little girl free?
Fuck it, she's not dying 'cause of me
The tide took us both, I held her real close
Dodging capsized boats, how blessed are we?
Street signs, windows, blinds, dead look in people's eyes
A real catastrophe
[Chorus]
The earth starts shaking, the waves are breaking
It's every man for himself
Grab the shit that you need
Get away with your health
I can escape, I will not break
I will give everything it takes
Listen to me sing
Love is all I bring
[Verse 3]
Me and Alfie made it outta dodge, a hope and a prayer
Was the first time I felt it, like God's right there
There's a lot more to life than a pair of Nike Airs
No explanation as to why, life's so unfair
Many others that day didn't catch the same fate
The odds for the average cat don't really seem straight
But I will not cower, I will not cave
I was changed by the power of the waves
[Chorus]
The earth starts shaking, the waves are breaking
It's every man for himself
Grab the shit that you need
Get away with your health
I can escape, I will not break
I will give everything it takes
Listen to me sing
