Flood

Flood met your door

feel it spray off the drowning road.

Soaked through the floor

your fingers stray, you're all alone.

Each wet stitch clinging to your skin

drawn tight with every inch you bare.

Don't resist as it's seeping in.

Some secrets can't be hidden here.

Don't try, love, you're already mine.

So struggle all you like, you can't defy

the rising tide.

Perched at the edge

just one slip of a lying tongue

could cause regrets

your fingers drip and you're just so close.

Each hot breath screaming for release

dragged down beneath the breaking waves.

Rivers pouring through every crease

some secrets need to stay that way.

Don't try, love, you're already mine.

So struggle all you like, you can't defy

the rising

Don't try, love, you're already mine.

So struggle all you like, you can't defy

the rising tide.

You'll wish you'd never come to me

I'll ruin you, I'll set you free.

You'll wish you'd never come to me

I'll ruin you, I'll set you free.

I know that

you want me

so hold back

and taunt me.

I know that

you love me

spread open

and flood me.

You'll wish you'd never come to me

I'll ruin you, I'll set you free.

You'll wish you'd never come to me

I'll ruin you, I'll set you free.

You'll wish you'd never come to me

I'll ruin you, I'll set you free.

You'll wish you'd never come to me

I'll ruin you, I'll set you

--free.

Just an inch away

you're crawling towards pure bliss.

Time to wash away

your empty martyr's stare.

Don't try, love, you're already mine.

So struggle all you like, you can't defy

the rising

Don't try, love, you're already mine.

So struggle all you like, you can't defy

the rising tide.
