"The Flood" lyrics

Deep down yea 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 yea 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 damning it up
So damn it I'll run oh dammit I'm done
Deep down yea I know in my guts
That the river will run
And the river will flood
Yeah the river will flood

My empathy's 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 yea 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 damning it up
So damn it I'll run oh dammit I'm done
Deep down yea I know in my guts
That the river will run
That the river will flood
That the river will flood

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

Deep down yea 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
