[Intro]
(Whispers rise and fall, the low hum of dread)
[Verse 1]
Cold static fills my lungs, this midnight air
Crushing silence—every breath an omen
I move unseen through halls of broken stone
Where anger echoes, unnamed and growing
[Pre-chorus]
I hear the pulse beneath the bones
A drum of panic, slow and patient
[Chorus]
Let the flood surround me, silent and unseen
Drown what words cannot confess
Let the flood surround me, from beneath my skin
The surge I dare not speak
[Verse 2]
Grief like iron—heavy, bitter, and slow
A thousand faces wailing in the rain
They choke on silence, feeding its hunger
Despair is sharper in the dark
[Pre-chorus]
I feel the tide creeping higher
My pulse, my penance
[Chorus]
Let the flood surround me, silent and unseen
Drown what words cannot confess
Let the flood surround me, from beneath my skin
The surge I dare not speak
[Bridge]
There’s no escape from the water’s weight
My voice bleeds out, fractured by quiet
(Drifting, deeper—lost in haze)
The night consumes what I tried to hide
[Solo]
[Guitar and ambient noise, wind and waves entwined]
[Chorus]
Let the flood surround me, silent and unseen
Drown what words cannot confess
Let the flood surround me, from beneath my skin
The surge I dare not speak
[Post-chorus]
(The flood, the flood—drown me, erase me)
[Outro]
I walk alone through aftermath and ruin
One truth left—swallowed by the flood
