The Flood

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

And I catastrophize, I think my time is up

But if the current's strong and it don't 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

My empathy is a knife and it's been cutting deep

I see the smiles fade when they look down on me

And so I change, and change, and change

And change again, and change again

And then I fall back inside of the life I left

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

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

And I've tried, but it's never enough

Yeah, the river will run, and the river will flood
