Swimming In The Flood

(album: Ghosts - 2013)

I'm reading what I wrote about your words and how you sang to me
That night up on the awning I saw love pour out of every street
And all these memories surround me, pulling me back for more
I'm lightly fading in the background, laying upon your shore

You tore the towers down
Stumbled through the room
Broke the golden vow
Saw you swimming in it

My eyes were wide as hell
I saw the cancer move
Throughout your dying shell
Saw you swimming in it

You thought your arms were weak
Thought my hand was cruel
Couldn't see it then
Saw you swimming in the flood

I remember how you moved, how you shot, how you're breaking me
I never wanna fool you, I'm swallowed up in everything
I'm writing giant words of epic works and stories of your watery womb
The hose is burst, I sputtered out, I'm spilled across the ground for you

You tore the towers down
Stumbled through the room
Broke the golden vow
Saw you swimming in it

My eyes were wide as hell
I saw the cancer move
Throughout your dying shell
Saw you swimming in it

You thought your arms were weak
Thought my hand was cruel
Couldn't see it then
Saw you swimming in the flood
Ohhh...
Saw you swimming in the flood
Saw you swimming in the flood

You tore the towers down
Saw you swimming in the flood
My eyes were wide as hell
Saw you swimming in the flood
You thought your arms were weak
Saw you swimming in the flood
You thought your arms were weak
Saw you swimming in the flood
Saw you swimming in the flood
You tore the towers down
Saw you swimming in the flood
