The Flood Songtext
von gavn!

Deep down, yeah, I know in my guts
That the river will run and the river will flood
And I′ve tried, but it's never enough
Yeah, the river will run and the river will flood

I feel the water rising, boiling my blood (boiling my blood)
And I catastrophize, I think my time is up (my time is up)
But if the current′s strong and it don't promise change (promise change)
And I'll be tracked along through the canal I′ve made
No, I can′t hold it back

Deep down, yeah, I know in my guts
That the river will run and the river will flood
And I've tried, but it′s never enough
Yeah, the river will run and the river will flood

And there's no use in damming it up
So damn it, I′ll run, oh, damn it, I'm done
Deep down, yeah, I know in my guts
That the river will run, and the river will flood (oh)

Yeah, the river will flood (ah-oh)


My empathy is a knife and it′s been cutting deep
I see the smiles fade when they look down on me (they look down on me)
And so I change, and change, and change
And change again, and change again (change)
And then I fall back inside of the life I left (letting it fall on me back)

Deep down, yeah, I know in my guts
That the river will run and the river will flood
And I've tried, but it's never enough
Yeah, the river will run and the river will flood

And there′s no use in damming it up
So damn it, I′ll run, oh, damn it, I'm done
Deep down, yeah, I know in my guts
That the river will run, and the river will flood (oh)

That the river will flood (ah-oh, oh)

It′s too late to stop (ooh)
And I'm barely hanging on (ooh)
And the water does what it wants (ooh)
Is it too late to stop?

Deep down, yeah, I know in my guts
That the river will run and the river will flood
′Cause I've tried, but it′s never enough
Yeah, the river will run and the river will flood
