Into The Flood

I want to write your name into my flesh

I want to be in love with myself again

I want to bring it down

I want to bring it down

I believe that things are changing

Where is the gain in all the hell you bring

In the search for something new?

Because the birds won't sing when their cages stink

So think of something else to say

Because things are changing

I want to write your name into my flesh

I want to be in love with myself again

I want to bring it down

I want to bring it down

I believe that things are changing

Your hands, held tight around

The throat of what it is to live these days

And we choke on the pain feed into our heads

We're not gonna be here when you get back

I want to write your name into my flesh

I want to be in love with myself again

I want to bring it down

I want to bring it down

I believe that things are changing

For the best

And all the rest into the flood

All of me has to bleed

But part of me has got to be alive
