The Flood

Will you ever
 Look past your self-sufficient illusions
 The structures true foundations rest within you
 The price we pay
 For sheer indifference
 Surrendered self - you're discount spare parts
 You give up your rights
 For your limitations
 And abandon all hope
 One
 Step
 Further down the line
 As the flood begins to rise
 You're on your knees, faking ambition
 Now close your eyes and bleed
 I know there are things from the past that should never be brought back
 The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges
 In simplified inane depictions of a different world
 A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them
 As you give up your rights
 For your limitations
 And lay down your arms
 One
 Step
 Further down the line
 As the flood begins to rise
 You're on your knees, faking ambition
 Now close your eyes
 In the darkest corner of my mind
 I see a boy with a crooked smile
 With a crown made of tinsel and glassbeads on a wire
 Singin a song out time
 Now if you believe, I'll bleed for you
 And if I could bleed, well so could you
 Close your eyes and pretend it'll go away
 But you know that you've got nothing to lose
