The Flood, Part 1 / The Carpenter / The Flood, Part 2

lyrics

PART I i’ve started a fire just to watch the riots as the world burns down. i’ve got it all figured out. i can hide away up here in the clouds. take it all away. i’ll take you all the way. somewhere far away. “a storm is coming”, you say. i’ve started a fire and i can’t douse the flames. i’ve got it all figured out. you feign your wreckage behind mascara lines. take it all away. “here comes the flood”, you say. somewhere far away. “here comes the flood”, you say. the sky cracks a smile as i ascend to a higher plane. the walls you’ve built will crumble. ideas and words are all that remain. THE CARPENTER he walks with his crown of thorns. looks away from here seven snake eyes. wanders to places he’s been before. rots away so others can fly. he says, “i don’t know if it’s worth my time. i don’t believe i can save this kind. but i won’t know until i die.” his heart now is filled with scorn. friends won’t look him in the eye. “the only certainty”, he says, “is that you were born. and like all men, you too will die.” he says, “i don’t know if it’s worth my time. i don’t believe i can save this kind. but i won’t know until i die. hung up on a cross, left to die.” PART II take it all away. i’ll take you all the way. somewhere far away. “here comes the flood”, you say.
