The Flood

歌詞

Will you ever look past your self-sufficient illusions? The structure's true foundations rest within you The price we pay for sheer indifference Surrendered self-discount spare parts You give up your rights for your limitations And abandon all hope One step further down the line As the flood begins to rise You're on your knees, faking ambition Now close your eyes and bleed I know there are things from the past That should never be brought back The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges In simplified, inane depictions of a different world A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them As you give up your rights for your limitations And lay down your arms One step further down the line As the flood begins to rise You're on your knees, faking ambitions Now close your eyes.... In the darkest corner of my mind, I see a boy with a crooked smile With a crown made of tinsel and glass beads On a wire Singing a song out of time Now, if you believe, I'll bleed for you... And if I bleed, so could you Close your eyes and pretend it'll go away But you know that you've got nothing to lose
