Take, if you want a slice,
If you want a piece,
If it feels alright.
Break, if you like the sound,
If it gets you up,
If it brings you down.
Share, if it makes you sleep,
If it sets you free,
If it helps you breathe.
Don’t come over here
And piss on my gate.
Save it—just keep it
Off my wave.
Cry, if you want to cry,
If it helps you see,
If it clears your eyes.
Hate, if you want to hate,
If it keeps you safe,
If it makes you brave.
Pray, if you want to pray,
If you like to kneel,
If you like to lay.
Keep it off my wave.
My wave.
- Soundgarden, My Wave
