lyrics
Don't know why I care anymore
A fish, you're floating on the water
And times have slowly changed
Going, coming, going, gone
And I have felt you're frightened
By the wise
Taste the cold
Breathe, you'll breathe my air
I'll be aware
And perhaps you'll learn to love and thank
The ones who have acknowledged
And those you'd rather not
So tell me what you're trying to fight
I want to fight it for you
If you say you're afraid and you're willing to change
Then the fighting is through
But I feel it, and I feel it, and I feel it coming
And I'm not fighting for you
So tell me it's that simple
Can't you learn to ride the tides
All the wisdom that has died
Gold seed, stab our backs, no we won't mind
We'll stand in line
So tell me what you're trying to fight
I want to fight it for you
If you say you're afraid and you're willing to change
Then the fighting is through
But I feel it, and i feel it, and I feel it coming
And I'm not fighting for you
So don't tell me it's that simple
Feel your faith
Hide away
Come on down
Feel, feel
Hide away
On your own
Feel, feel
A fish, you're floating on the water
And times have slowly changed
Going, coming, going, gone
And I have felt you're frightened
By the wise
Taste the cold
Breathe, you'll breathe my air
I'll be aware
And perhaps you'll learn to love and thank
The ones who have acknowledged
And those you'd rather not
So tell me what you're trying to fight
I want to fight it for you
If you say you're afraid and you're willing to change
Then the fighting is through
But I feel it, and I feel it, and I feel it coming
And I'm not fighting for you
So tell me it's that simple
Can't you learn to ride the tides
All the wisdom that has died
Gold seed, stab our backs, no we won't mind
We'll stand in line
So tell me what you're trying to fight
I want to fight it for you
If you say you're afraid and you're willing to change
Then the fighting is through
But I feel it, and i feel it, and I feel it coming
And I'm not fighting for you
So don't tell me it's that simple
Feel your faith
Hide away
Come on down
Feel, feel
Hide away
On your own
Feel, feel

about
Wilkes Oswald Miami, Florida
4 dudes in Miami formed a band in 2009 called Wilkes Oswald. Influenced individually and collectively by acts such as The
Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tame Impala, Muse, Daft Punk, and Kanye West.
No two live shows by Wilkes Oswald have ever been the same; they get off on the art of spontaneous, improvised sequences in their live shows; sometimes completely improvising a new song on the spot.
