Into the Flood

I want to write your name into my flesh I want to be in love with myself again I want to bring it down I want to bring it down I believe that things are changing Where is the gain in all the hell you bring In the search for something new? Because the birds won't sing when their cages stink So think of something else to say Because things are changing I want to write your name into my flesh I want to be in love with myself again I want to bring it down I want to bring it down I believe that things are changing Your hands, held tight around The throat of what it is to live these days And we choke on the pain feed into our heads We're not gonna be here when you get back I want to write your name into my flesh I want to be in love with myself again I want to bring it down I want to bring it down I believe that things are changing For the best And all the rest into the flood All of me has to bleed But part of me has got to be alive
