Lyrics:
I'm reading what I wrote about your words and how you sang to me
That night up on the awning I saw love pour out of every street
And all these memories surround me, pulling me back for more
I'm lightly fading in the background, laying upon your shore
You tore the towers down
Stumbled through the room
Broke the golden vow
Saw you swimming in it
My eyes were wide as hell
I saw the cancer move
Throughout your dying shell
Saw you swimming in it
You thought your arms were weak
Thought my hand was cruel
You couldn't see it then
Saw you swimming in the flood
I remember how you moved, how you shot, how you're breaking me
I never wanna fool you, I'm swallowed up in everything
I'm writing giant words of epic works and stories of your watery womb
The hose is burst, I sputtered out, I'm spilled across the ground for you
You tore the towers down
Stumbled through the room
Broke the golden vow
Saw you swimming in it
My eyes were wide as hell
I saw the cancer move
Throughout your dying shell
Saw you swimming in it
You thought your arms were weak
Thought my hand was cruel
You couldn't see it then
Saw you swimming in the flood
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Saw you swimming in the flood

"Of all of my discography, I would say Swimming In The Flood is one of the most difficult to describe. It deals with themes that are so deep inside of me, far beyond the place where logical speech exists. When I think about them I feel I am gazing on things not meant for the conscious mind. It came from a vision I had where the girl I loved was being swept away by a tsunami. As I watched her in the torrent, there was a moment where she stopped struggling, and instead began enthusiastically swimming along with the water. Like she wanted to be taken away. She was rushing towards the void with reckless abandon, like she saw something that no one else could. I don't know how to explain the feeling it brought up in me. I have chills thinking about it." I liked how he was asked about this particular song, mainly because it has always been a difficult one for me to interpret, and I am very satisfied with his answer, felt like posting it here ♥
