Sacco & Vanzetti - The Flood Lyrics

A trashcan overflowing outside of a park, dirty diapers and gas station lighters as he thought
About the ants in Pi, and Aronofsky near the ruins
We dance with time, and step on it's toes he went through it
In a past life watching her take pill after pill
Thrill after thrill until the wind was still
Tombstone god knows where nobody there
But he can still smell her hair there's
Something in the air and it's not air
But you might as well send your senator a long list of your cares and not fairs
It's not fear but he fears how they'll take it
If it's not clear so he appears just before they break it
How do you move a beach? One grain at a time
Hand scrubbing with bleach, one stain at a time
Just to find there are old secrets covering eyes
When weakness is death, what's one little lie

They applied waterproof tape to the foundation twice
A thousand foot roll wrapped around their whole life
Patched the gaps and the blemishes
But behind the walls like fetishes there were cracks that they could never fix
Due to a lack of evidence, it shined to some eyes
Until a storm came that defied the design
Started with a trickle, turned into a stream
That fed into a river, that bled into their dreams
Talking to the field and it was crying out
Tweak a dial try it now
They pled though they'd dread finding out
When the fire's route surrounded their entire house
Until it fed the fire's mouth
They ran to denial doubt comfort
Construed from the tongue of the shrewd
Shroud shredded and left em confused
Choking on the fumes in the nude until flesh became food
While fools promised a garden would bloom from out the doom
