Lyrics
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.
Here comes the water
All I knew
All I believed
Are crumbling images
That no longer comfort me
I scramble to reach higher ground
Order and sanity or something to comfort me
Take what is mine
Hold what is mine
Suffocate what is mine
Bury what's mine
Soon the water will come
And claim what is mine
I must leave it behind
And climb to a new place now
This ground is not the rock I thought it to be
Thought I was high
Thought I was free
Thought I was there
Divine destiny
I was wrong
This changes everything
Running away
Running away now
Running away
Running away now
Running away
Running away now
Running away
Running away now
Take what is mine
Hold what is mine
Suffocate what is mine
Bury what's mine
Soon the water will come
And claim what is mine
I must leave it behind
And climb to a new place
Water's rising up on me
Said the water's rising up on me
Thought the sun would come deliver me
But the truth has come to punish me instead
Ground breaks down right under me
Cleanse and purge me in the water
