The Flood
Hard days
Thoughts flying trough my mind like airplanes
Looking for something in a blank space
I'm facing some hard days

Hallways
Echos break up the silent airwaves
Strange how the memories reverberate
Around these empty hallways

I thought I dammed that river but it's raining so hard
Just when I thought I was done with wondering where you are
You are

I can't hold back
Hold back the flood when i look back
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Hold back the flood
Hold back the flood

Starry eyes
Remember your voice just like a lullaby
Repainting pictures that will fade with time
Almost forgot your starry eyes

I can't hold back
Hold back the flood when i look back
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Hold back the flood
Hold back the flood
I can't hold back
Hold back the flood when i look back
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Hold back the flood
Hold back the flood

The waters rising
The water's rising
The water's rising when I think of you
I tell myself
That i can fight it
I can't fight it but its so untrue
The waters rising
The waters rising
The waters rising

I can't hold back
Hold back the flood when i look back
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Hold back the flood
Hold back the flood

I can't hold back
Hold back the flood when i look back
The cracks open up and i hold my breath as the waves start to come
Hold back the flood
Hold back the flood
