Lyrics
The Flood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Broken people get recycled
And I hope that I will sometimes be thrown off the pathways
What I thought was my way home
Wasn't the place I know
No, I'm not afraid of changing
Certain, nothing's certain
What we own becomes our prison
My possessions will be gone
Back to where they came from
Blame, no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again
See the rock that you hold onto
Is it gonna save you
When the earth begins to crumble?
Why'd you feel you have to hold on?
Imagine if you let go
Blame, no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again
Flush away the weight that pulls you down
Light the ways that free from the dust
Don't trust your eyes
Its easy to believe them
Know in your heart
That you can leave a prison
Don't trust your mind
Its not always listening
Turn on the lights
And feel the ancient rhythm
Don't trust your eyes
Its easy to believe them (no one is to blame)
Know in your heart (as natural as the rain)
That you can leave your prison (here comes the flood again)
Blame, no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again
