Ignite The Known (imagination) - The Flood

lyrics

The world's an ocean and I was blessed with lungs. I'll stay afloat even though I've become undone. If there were land I would do my best to run underneath the sun, below the drying sun. I'm slowly sinking and I'm left with no air. The pressure's building with a pain that I just can't bear. To drown in the sea is a wish I'll refuse to share. Oh, I wouldn't dare, but i"m well aware.

When the gap between what is heard and what's yet to be seen. When the gap between who I am and what I should want to be. When the gap between mild love and feeling lonely makes me think about the way I'm changing, and the end result of what will become of me, only then will I accept this entirely.

The sky is dark with my emotions on display. I've set my body in the water where I'll plea and pray there's something more than to be swallowed by the waves. There's nothing more I want, but nothing more I crave. I'm pining for a place where I could die alone and fantasies were to be swept by the undertow, or maybe plummet 20,000 leagues below, where there's room to grow, but I've always known.

When the gap between modern age and ancient prophecies. When the gap between what is real and what is more like a dream. When the gap between letting go and constant dwelling makes me hope that I will soon be underground and to feel as if I was more lost than found only then will I have turned myself back around.

When the gap between determines when the sun will rise and begin to bring a death to a flood this size. Only then will I have the faith that only one creates. Oh I, myself have the strength to realize.

When the gap between what I want and what I truly need. When the gap between what I think and what I start to believe. When the gap between losing hope and reaching glory makes me yearn to end this current downpour, and the need to return where I've been before. Only then will I have ever wished for more.
