There Was a Flood

Say goodnight young dagger have the years been kind to you?

Or have they left you vacant with so much left to prove

It should be none of your concern but the pain has been lifted away

Fatally eternally

Overcome and overthrow

The blood that swelled your tainted lips now drip to the floor

So dry your eyes before you cry another river

And breath-by-breath I'll rise to keep your flood away from me

I'll dam your flood away from me

Only out of spite I must

I will throw you away

Always I'll fight off your grip on my existence

I won't feel sorry for this spit in the eye

Sending seizures through your frozen veins

There is no giving into you

It took a lifetime to forget your name

I swallowed everything you said

Exhale the poison the dwells within your soul

Stand up for myself

Drown by yourself
