Water’s rising, walls are caving in
Silence choking the air where bells had been
Painful blessing, we prayed for rain for months
Now we’re too full, our town is overrun
Preacher, you never told us that a gift could be a curse
Arms wide, a new beginning, but right now we miss the first
Houses drowning, lungs like cabinets
Filled with vain things, remnants of our debts
Swimming in the churchyard fighting off the hunger
We got your number, we’re going to find you
Calling out for mercy, but you know you’re going under
If we want to see it, we’re going to see it
Preacher, you never told us that a gift could be a curse
Arms wide, a new beginning, but right now we miss the first
