[Intro]

Here comes the water


[Verse 1]

All I knew

All I believed

Crumbling images

No longer comfort me

Scramble to

Reach higher ground

Order and sanity

Something to comfort me


[Chorus]

Take what is mine, hold what is mine

Suffocate what is mine, bury what's mine

Soon the water will come and claim what is mine

I must leave it behind and climb to a new place now


[Post-Chorus]

This ground is not the rock I thought it to be


[Verse 2]

Thought I was high

Thought I was free

I thought I was there

Divine destiny

I was wrong

This changes everything


[Bridge]

Running away

Running away now

Running away

Running away now

Running away

Running away


[Chorus]

Take what is mine, hold what is mine

Suffocate what is mine, bury what's mine

Soon the water will come and claim what is mine

I must leave it behind and climb to a new place

The water is rising up on me

Said the water rising up on me

Thought the sun would come deliver me

But the truth has come to punish me instead


[Outro]

Grounds break down right under me

Cleanse and purge me in the water
