The Flood Lyrics

It was a perfect day

But it all washed away

It's in my mind

All the eyes around me

I've got a premonition

That the waters starting rising

Gotta get home, make sure everything's alright

Can't finish vows, I don't think I have that kind of time

I was right, the water's slowly rising

They didn't believe me, so I had to start running

Get to high ground

Oh, the crashing sound

Scared for my life as the waves lap closer

The flood, oh

It's pulling me in

Deep underground

I can't swim

I can't breathe

As the waters climb

Hard to believe

I'm almost out of time

The sirens started wailing

Do you believe me now?

Another premonition in the middle of town

The tallest oak tree for miles around

Nestled in its branches was an old treehouse

Better than trying to stay on the ground

We've gotta hurry if we don't wanna drown

Watch your step, you don't wanna fall down

Cuts on my hands, splinters green and brown

Don't let go, can't you hear the sound?

The flood, oh

It's pulling me in

Deep underground

I can't swim

I can't breathe

As the waters climb

Hard to believe

I'm almost out of time

The flood, oh

I escaped its misery

Barely made it

Out of its periphery

I can't breathe

My chest burns and writhes

Hard to believe

I finished the climb

It was a perfect day

But it all washed away

I said my last goodbyes

Hiding out in the sky
