Floodgate
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.
You come to me, late night, eyes heavy with tears
The hope of some sleep now disappears
What is you intention? now you have me awake
My guess is a night of confessions await
You start out so softly, your voice, a quivering tone
Your words are on quite a strain to control
Then something inside you breaks free from restraint
Like a dam that the flood overtakes
I listen yo all the words that you say
You think that your mind is going
Now you're drowning in all the tears that you shed
Now that the floodgates are open
When the floodgates are open
Blood and tears flow through as they wash away
The gaze of salvation
Blended by the tears from the words you say
Can I really believe that these tears are for good?
That they wash away what silence never could
What cure is this weeping? what form of therapy?
And will there be rest tonight for me?
Your words are flowing right into my head
I'm drenched in your words so sullen.
Now I'm drowning in all the tears that you shed
And the floodgates are rising
When the floodgates are open
Blood and tears flow through as they wash away
The gaze of salvation
Blended by the tears from the words you say
The floodgates are opened
They are channeling all your pain through me
When will the floodplains shrink lower?
Until then I can only dream of sleep
When the floodgates are opened
The floodgates lie opened
In the wake of your fears
How many times must you give me this curse?
Never come to me with your tears
Until you seek solace and reason first.
