Floods

Dreams of fading amity With a sun that's sitting still behind the hills Hours, they seem like full blown days In a place where no one sees or hears you drowning Lost all night and hanging still Every thought, a heavy stone you bear alone Tired and spent, yet no repent Running wild towards the hollow claiming that you Want it Rigor says you need it Pride will justify it Paralyzing hate takes over High time you made amends Smile wider than the half moon rising Stone in your hand, it cuts to the bone You swear that you'll throw it, but keep it your own Carry the weight like it's all that you know The longer you hold it, the deeper it grows Bitter and cold, you can't let it go The anger inside you taking control Burning your mind, you won't let it show The cage that you built, the dream that you sold Want it Rigor says you need it Pride will justify it Paralyzing hate takes over High time you made amends Smile wider than the half moon rising High time you made amends Cry floods over the mountains burning Brother, find immutable rest Dive in deep, the river Midwest Let go, one more moment of rest Floating, free fall out of the nest Brother, find immutable rest Dive in deep, the river Midwest Let go, one more moment of rest Floating, free fall out of the nest
