"The Flood" lyrics

"The Flood"

Broken people get recycled
And I hope that I will
Sometimes we're thrown off our pathways

What I thought was my way home
Wasn't the place

I know, I'm not afraid of changing
I'm certain nothing's certain
What we own becomes our prison

My possessions will be gone
Back to where they came from

Blame
No one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again

See the rock that you hold onto
Is it gonna save you?
When the earth begins to crumble

Why do you feel you have to hold on?
Imagine if you let go

Blame
No one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again

Wash away
The weight that pulls you down
Ride the waves
That free you from your doubts

Don't trust your eyes
It's easy to believe them
Know with your heart
That you can leave your prison
(Wash away the weight that pulls you down)

Don't trust your mind
It's not always listening
Turn on the lights
And feel the ancient rhythm
(Ride the waves that free you from your doubts)

Don't trust your eyes
It's easy to believe them
Know in your heart
That you can leave your prison

Blame
No one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again
