Floodgates

(album: Grace Street - 2017)

I'm opening the floodgates
I'm opening a window
I'm opening a doorway
While you're still away

Oh, reach out to those where the shine is
As they refuse to be found
Deep are the stillest of waters
It makes it easy to drown

All in all, nobody knows no one

Only one world is fast asleep
Can I find a way to let the last guard down

I'm opening the floodgates
I'm opening a window
I'm opening a doorway
I'm letting all the flies out
I've gotta torch my hideout
There's nothing left to find out now
While you're still away

Help out the ones who are falling
When they need no help at all
Always the ones who are calling
Sometimes it's nice to be called

By yourself
Way too long
You exhume the fears
And then they hang around

I'm opening the floodgates
I'm opening a window
I'm opening a doorway
I'm letting all the flies out
I've gotta torch my hideout
There's nothing left to find out now
While you're still away

The walls will cave
The floor will sink
As the world's asleep
And I'm alone
Anxiety
The pictures are springing to life again
All of this while you're away
Hey! What have you got to say?

I'm opening the floodgates
I'm opening a window
I'm opening a doorway
I'm letting all the flies out
I've gotta torch my hideout
There's nothing left to find out now

I'm opening the floodgates
I'm opening a window
I'm opening a doorway
I'm letting all the flies out
I've gotta torch my hideout
There's nothing left to find out now
While you're still away
