Lyrics The Swellers

The Swellers

The Flood

The flood carries us away

I'll hold my breath for other days

I won't make this wager, where's the light for me

Now that you've raised the stakes?

And they're always waiting. Fuck waiting!

My hands are surface bound

The rest stays under water

The flood carries us away

I'll hold my breath for other days

And when I hear that voice and everything's okay

Then I'll pray the world my soul to take

With my philosophy expelled, it'd take a saint to give me hell

And I don't know what's real

I'm deteriorating, the most hated

Drown without a sound

True hearts and minds are sinking

The flood carries us away

I'll hold my breath for other days

And when I hear that voice and everything's okay

Then I'll pray the world my soul to take

Suddenly, it hits me that there's something out there for us

But I can't breathe, and I can't shake this sick feeling. I'm half alive.

Suddenly, it hits me; a feeling I've never known.

The flood carries us away

I'll hold my breath for other days

And when I hear that voice and everything's okay

Then I'll pray the world my soul to take

Then I'll pray the world my soul to take
