Swimming in the Flood

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm reading what I wrote about your words And how you sang to me That night up on the awning I saw love pour out of every street And all these memories surround me Pulling me back for more I'm lightly fading in the background Laying upon your shore [Chorus] You tore the towers down, stumbled through the room Broke the golden vow, saw you swimming in it My eyes were wide as hell, I saw the cancer move Throughout your dying shell, saw you swimming in it You thought your arms were weak, thought my hand was cruel Couldn't see it then, saw you swimming in the flood [Verse 2] I remember how you moved How you shot, how you're breaking me I never wanna fool you I'm swallowed up in everything I'm writing giant words of epic works And stories of your watery womb The hose is burst, I sputtered out I'm spilled across the ground for you [Chorus] You tore the towers down, stumbled through the room Broke the golden vow, saw you swimming in it My eyes were wide as hell, I saw the cancer move Throughout your dying shell, saw you swimming in it You thought your arms were weak, thought my hand was cruel Couldn't see it then, saw you swimming in the flood Saw you swimming in the flood You tore the towers down My eyes were wide as hell You thought your arms were weak I saw you swimming in the flood [Outro] You tore the towers down
