"Deluge" lyrics
"Deluge"
This body is riddled with ailments (is riddled with ailments)
The devil's got me in his grip (got me in his grip)
Genuflect and skin me of this payment (no, just skin me of this payment)
We share the same affliction, everybody's gotta breathe
That's what I say
I thought your touch would be the vessel to my salvation, but it drifted far beyond the shore
So I put up my sails, and I searched all my days, and I found out one thing:
There's no love anymore
No more pouring out, I swear to God, I'll overflow, oh-oh-oh
Until it spills over, your floor's ungratified-oh
It comes in oceanic surges (oceanic surges)
I heard they purged you of denial (I heard they purged you of denial)
But I'm lost in a sea of delusion (oh, sea of delusion)
So instead, I purge my abdomen of antiquated doubt
Your candle's burning to no end, burning to no end!
But you're relentless all the same
Please, dear, just validate this fixation
Please, dear, just validate this fixation
No more pouring out, I swear to God, I'll overflow, oh-oh-oh
Until it spills over, your floor's ungratified-oh
This body is riddled with ailments; the devil's got me in his grip
This body is riddled with ailments; the devil's got me in his grip
This body is riddled with ailments; the devil's got me
We share the same affliction, everybody's gotta breathe
Burning to no end!
No more pouring out, I swear to God, I'll overflow, oh-oh-oh
My own deluge going to waste, it leaves me restless
But I will wait until it spills over, your floor's ungratified
Your floor's ungratified-oh
