An August night and all the main street lights are low Turn off the brights as stars repeat their midnight shows This air's a tomb crawls into the room and takes hold You can pray all day for the pouring rain, but it never rolls Shades are drawn, and eyes peak out when darkness falls Bring the Flood. Bring the surge that storms these walls We can runaway from these corn-fed planes or let them take hold We can leave today down the fire escape or sit here getting old If driving all night gets you somewhere Let this blackness be our day The world is blasting in stereo on the interstate Bring the Flood. If you can't save yourself, save your own. The wind picks up and shakes the core of all we've known This air's a tomb crawls into the room and takes hold We can leave today down the fire escape or sit here getting old If driving all night gets you somewhere Let this blackness be our day All the waiting is over I will be the first one out and never look back I will be the first one out and never look back If driving all night gets you somewhere Let this blackness be our day The world is blasting in stereo on the interstate Bring the Flood Bring the Flood
