Flood

[Sigh]

In these currents flow
in these days begin again

My eyes have been shattered
I can't see for blood
but you in your pretty dress
and your smile
casting shadows on the sun

Dream
dream
make it real
I'll hold you
like you are water to a dying man
I think I'm gonna want to stay
this time

All the voices in your head
and those visions you describe
all your madness and your genius billowing
furious clouds of crimson and red

If I suffered I can't remember
your blinding light
fused the past to this moment
I'm in a trance
an ancient dance with you

So rip the breath from my lungs
like a beggar rips a loaf of bread
a thousand ecsatacys shine
in the taste of your lips
the ground will split open
'neath the sway of your hips

It's like I spent a hundred lifetimes
running back to your arms
sometimes meandering like a river
sometimes surging like a flood
the world and it's streets and it's chaos
are but a backdrop to our epiphany of love.
