INTRO The flood carries us away I'll hold my breath for other days VERSE 1 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 CHORUS 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 VERSE 2 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 CHORUS 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 BRIDGE 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. CHORUS 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
