swimming in the flood

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
