The Flood Lyrics

Will you ever
Look past your self-sufficient illusions
The structures true foundations rest within you
The price we pay
For sheer indifference
Surrendered self - you're discount spare parts

You give up your rights
For your limitations
And abandon all hope

One
Step
Further down the line
As the flood begins to rise
You're on your knees, faking ambition
Now close your eyes and bleed

I know there are things from the past that should never be brought back
The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges
In simplified inane depictions of a different world
A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them

As you give up your rights
For your limitations
And lay down your arms

One
Step
Further down the line
As the flood begins to rise
You're on your knees, faking ambition
Now close your eyes

In the darkest corner of my mind
I see a boy with a crooked smile
With a crown made of tinsel and glassbeads on a wire
Singin a song out time

Now if you believe, I'll bleed for you
And if I could bleed, well so could you

Close your eyes and pretend it'll go away
But you know that you've got nothing to lose
