Under the Flood - Dismantled

Under the flood

It always seems so bright

Beneath the murky tides

The cities glow untouched

Under the flood

Their faces, frozen blank

No one to tell me why

The waters always on the rise

And I look back

Where we started

Had come so far

To lose it all

To the abyss

And as I hang on

I’m sure that soon I will know

Just what it is like

Sinking slowly

Into the depths

The hands still clutch

The swollen faith

That brought them all down at once

Oh, what an ending to a wasted life

Under the flood

We never got that far

The sheets of rain blew past

All our attempts to calm it down

Under the flood

They said the earth cleaned up All of the stains we brought

And all the roots we tore out

Under the flood

I hope you’re happy now

I can’t wait, I can’t wait

To stop breathing for your human mass

When I’m dead, when I’m dead

I hope the planet wipes

Every trace, every track

Of my existence on this wretched ground

This wretched ground

But now it’s cooling down

But now it’s cooling down

And I look back

Where we started

Had come so far

To lose it all

To the abyss

No escaping it now

Time’s up

I’m finally free at last

Sinking slowly

Into the depths

I’m so detached

I’ve got no faith

Just a fading blank thought

Oh, what an ending to a wasted life

Sinking slowly

Into the depths

I’m so detached

I’ve got no faith

Just a fading blank thought

Oh, what an ending to a wasted life

Sinking slowly

Into the depths

I’m so detached

I’ve got no faith

Just a fading blank thought

Oh, what an ending to a wasted life
