When the flood comes are we gonna get free
When the flood comes are we gonna get free
When the flood comes are we gonna get free
The high-water marks on the sides of your thighs
Shimmer like silver in front of my eyes
Running like rivers in purple and white
They're smooth in the dark and they shine in the light
We all got our scars, we all gotta cope
But how long can we wait 'til the flood comes around
To take us home
I'm hearing your scales as i handle your skin
They slice me a little but i let them in
I hear disaster roll in from outside
As you draw your hooks further into my eyes
God how you shimmer, god how you seethe
But how long can a fish out of water pretend
That they can breathe
I dreamt of a monster down in the deep
(i dreamt of a monster) (Down in the deep)
Shaking the earth as it stirred from its sleep
(Ahaking the earth) (Stirred from its sleep)
And i was its feet and you were its wings
(I was its feet) (You were its wings)
They'll mark us on maps as the dangerous things
(Mark us as dangerous things) (Dangerous things)
Breaking the waves from the shadows beneath
Lifting our eyelids and baring our teeth
