Thought I Was a Grand Deluge Lyrics

Thought I was a thunder cloud

Spitting lightning at the mountains

But I was just a speck of dust

Spinning in the turbulence

Thought I was some grand deluge

As though my very touch were germination

But I was just the thirsty earth

Exhaling petrichor

My word I thought I was something

It turns out I was something else

Such a vast, expansive surface

Gives the illusion of depth

But from up close it's hard to tell

Thought I had it plotted out

Felt the way erode beneath me

But I was just a tributary

Flowing toward an endless ocean

My word I thought I was something

It turns out I was something else

Such a vast, expansive surface

Gives the illusion of depth

But from up close it's hard to tell

Felt myself ascending then

Rising of my own volition

But I was just a molecule

That was just evaporation
