The First Wave Lyrics by Gabe Rizzo

Phases

2022

We saw the wave
That was building
We turned our backs
On the horizon
Our lungs filled with water
As the temperature was rising
Think those brokers lost it
When those stocks started diving
Shoulda listened to those warnings
Before people started dying

Shoulda listened to those warnings
Instead of gimme gimme gimme
Fight for every penny
The fight is pretty petty

Now I'm looking at the stucco
Feeling stuck up already
Like where did the month go
But I'm lucky that I'm healthy

Yeah I'm lucky that I'm healthy
And my heart is pumping steady
Got my shoulders feeling heavy
At the gym getting ready

I had a dream that you loved me
Tried to sleep the whole day after
When I woke it all left me
Like the end of a chapter

Like the start of a disaster
But I like my stories gritty
What's the fun in looking pretty
I like looking like the city

I'm not looking for your pity
No I'm not looking for your pity
So lets cut out all the drums
Cause its all just stupid midi

Who am I kidding really
Oh boy who am I kidding really
Got to fake it to you make it
And I've been getting thrifty
And the marathon continues
Rest in peace to Nipsey
I'm just a high strung hippie
Man I don't even get me
