Flood Cult by FoxBat Lyrics

He held her head so firm
Just to see her eyes below the surface
Nevermind the struggle birthed the miscarriage of you words just to hold the head still
The thrashing will subside
Remember your lack of worth bestowed by the apple go your eye
One by one they walked into the water so you took them to the river
Said you'd teach them how to swim
Love is better with your guard down
Now let's see your will to live
Teach the children to fear the facets you faced every damn day
Disregard they won't remember their names if shame is a commodity
It's produced in bulk for their prey
You won't speak condescending steps submerge you're naive
One by one they disappeared
No one said a word
A pat on the back
Two slaps in the face an old maid forgetting why she feels frayed
How can you manufacture the numb granting clemency to the putrids
Tongue submerged in the depths of black embracing decay
I am now married to the cold thats blanketing me
I am rot under my skin
So you took me to the river
Said you'd teach me how to swim
Love is better with my guard down
You shoved me in
Washed up on the muddy bank
I'll never feel the same again
