​the flood is coming Lyrics by ​many tiny boxes

​far beneath the bridge

2023

[Intro]
Do you recognize the sound of your reflection?
Do you recognize?
Don’t lie, you know
Don’t hide, you know
[Verse 1]
Listen, listen, listen, the sea
What karma harms and breathe, the salt and drown
Out the sound of your cries for help
And let my pity devour any semblance of power you once had
I know, I know, I know
I'll rot with the body I fought and thought to throw into the fucking river
Thanks for your concern but I know I'll burn
How dare I call myself a mother
[Chorus]
For if great God above wiped the earth clean of his creations
Despite all his love, despite the mourning dove
To spite you, to spite me, to spite all we see
Oh, then you know the flood is coming
You know the flood is coming, the flood is coming
You know, oh, then you know the flood is coming
You know the flood is coming
You know the flood is coming
You know, you-y-y-you know
I’ll fucking drown, I’ll fucking drown, I’ll fucking drown
[Verse 2]
I have walked and prayed for this young child an hour
And heard the sea-wind scream upon the tower
And under the arches of the bridge, and scream
In the elms above the flooded stream
Imagining in excited reverie that the future years had come
Dancing to a frenzied drum out of the murderous innocence of the sea
[Outro: Tabitha]
Don’t let your memory starve of uncertainty
God knows, I know
God knows I love you
Don’t you go drown on my blood, here, I’ll help, take a sip
Gasping waves breathe me in
And I beg that you don't drown, don’t drown on me
Don't drown, don’t drown on me
Don't drown, don’t drown on me
Darling, I love you, oh, darling, I see you, oh
Forgive the sea
