Floodgates

I’m opening the floodgates

I’m opening a window

I’m opening a doorway

While you’re still away

Oh, reach out to those where the shine is

As they refuse to be found

Deep are the stillest of waters

It makes it easy to drown

All in all, nobody knows no one

Only one world is fast asleep

Can I find a way to let the last guard down

I’m opening the floodgates

I’m opening a window

I’m opening a doorway

I’m letting all the flies out

I’ve gotta torch my hideout

There’s nothing left to find out now

While you’re still away

Help out the ones who are falling

When they need no help at all

Always the ones who are calling

Sometimes it’s nice to be called

By yourself

Way too long

You exhume the fears

And then they hang around

I’m opening the floodgates

I’m opening a window

I’m opening a doorway

I’m letting all the flies out

I’ve gotta torch my hideout

There’s nothing left to find out now

While you’re still away

The walls will cave

The floor will sink

As the world’s asleep

And I’m alone

Anxiety

The pictures are springing to life again

All of this while you’re away

Hey! What have you got to say?

I’m opening the floodgates

I’m opening a window

I’m opening a doorway

I’m letting all the flies out

I’ve gotta torch my hideout

There’s nothing left to find out now

I’m opening the floodgates

I’m opening a window

I’m opening a doorway

I’m letting all the flies out

I’ve gotta torch my hideout

There’s nothing left to find out now

While you’re still away
